Cool climate grapes, grown in Victoria, have been picked at just the right time, building a wine that's designed to drink young, with raspberry liquorice, cherries and white pepper across the palate. Crack it now alongside some charry meats. This is barbecue wine that makes for an undeniable crowd-pleaser.

Crittenden Pinocchio King Valley Sangiovese is a deep purple colour, with a perfumed bouquet and a luscious palate full of bitter Morello cherries and light savoury characters. A firm layer of tart acidity and dry tannins integrate with the enticing palate, to offer a long and refreshing finish. Drink this wonderful red wine with an Italian charcuterie board.

Lush, vibrant and intense purple hues with a gentle aroma of blackberry with vanillin oak. The pallet is full bodied showcasing the cassis fruits and fine lingering tannins.

Generosity of fruit weight, combined with balanced, chewy tannins. What makes this wine stand out in the crowd is its ability to communicate a sense of place through its ethereal, complex and provocative earthy notes.
