The 2023 Banks Road Sangiovese is a fresh, savoury Victorian red made by Banks Road Vineyard from Sangiovese grown in Heathcote. It shows bright cherry and red berry fruit with subtle dried herbs and savoury spice, offering a lighter expression of the variety rather than a heavily extracted style.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, with juicy cherry fruit, lively acidity and gentle tannins leading to a fresh, savoury finish. The fruit is sourced from Heathcote and vinified at Banks Road’s small winery on the Bellarine Peninsula.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for those who enjoy bright Australian Sangiovese with fresh red fruit and savoury character. Ideal with tomato-based pasta, pizza, grilled pork, roast chicken, charcuterie or mushroom dishes.
