2024 Small Victories Sangiovese

Production notes

Description

We focused on retaining freshness and keeping the vibrancy the vineyard brings to the sangiovese, while respecting the need for a savoury, textural finish. Super pretty yet somewhat serious, balancing the ever-present tannin and acid makes for a delicious and approachable wine.
– Cheers, Jules + Brock

Winemaker Notes

We didn’t pick Sangiovese in 2023, so we were pretty excited to watch this fruit ripen and develop for 2024. The lead up to 2024 vintage was smooth, with decent rainfall in the growing season. This ripening period was dry,allowing us to measure out the irrigation and ensure a clean crop. We harvested on 11 April. Open fermentation with regular gentle pumpovers to ensure we extract all the goodness of flavour from the skins whilst carefully ensuring we don’t extract too much tannin, as tannin and acid are so bountiful with sangiovese.

Tasting notes

Lovely vibrant fruit to begin, complemented with a creamy edge owing to time on lees. The tight, typical Sangiovese tannin profile adds a lovely persistence to the finish which is balanced with an attractive savoury note.

Matt Dunne, WinePilot.com

The Small Victories Wine Co team continues to craft a smart and vibrant range of wines, balancing freshness with a modern edge—all while keeping sustainability and climate change in mind. The 2024 Sangiovese is sourced from the southeastern slopes of the Macclesfield Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, a slightly warmer site within the region. Open fermentation and maturation in seasoned French oak puncheons shape the wine beautifully. On the nose, vibrant aromas of sour cherry, cola, sweet baking spices, and festive orange peel leap from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, showcasing a classic interplay of red and black cherries, structured yet approachable tannins, and a savoury touch of cocoa bitterness. Sangiovese’s signature bright, almost briny acidity makes it one of the most food-friendly wines around—perfectly suited to a pairing with Osso Bucco and creamy mashed potatoes.
