Boutique Vineyard Mystery Montepulciano 2018

Rich, Smooth and Full of Character
Sourced from select vineyards and crafted in a boutique style, this Montepulciano delivers a generous expression of this classic Italian variety. Carefully produced in small batches, it offers depth of flavour with a smooth, approachable structure that makes it both vibrant and easy to enjoy.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in colour with vibrant crimson hues. The nose opens with inviting aromas of ripe plum, blackberry and dark cherry, supported by subtle hints of spice and earthy undertones. On the palate, layers of juicy dark fruits combine with gentle savoury notes and soft tannins, creating a medium to full-bodied wine with balance and warmth. The finish is smooth and lingering with notes of dark berries and spice.

Vintage

The 2018 vintage delivered excellent fruit quality, allowing the grapes to ripen fully while maintaining freshness. These favourable conditions produced wines with rich fruit character, balanced structure and smooth drinkability.

Winemaking

Carefully selected fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented to retain the natural character of the variety. Gentle extraction and careful maturation helped develop structure and depth while preserving the vibrant fruit profile.

Food Pairing

Perfect with pasta dishes, woodfired pizza, grilled meats or roasted vegetables. It also pairs beautifully with hard cheeses and hearty Mediterranean-style meals.
