The 2024 Save Our Souls King Valley Sangiovese is a vibrant, approachable Victorian red crafted by winemakers Jason Searle and William Downie. It opens with fragrant rose petal, violet and red cherry, followed by raspberry, sour plum, dried herbs and a gentle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied, juicy and savoury, with crunchy red fruit, lively acidity and fine, lightly dusty tannins. Freshness and restraint take precedence over weight, creating a balanced, energetic wine with a dry, subtly spicy finish and excellent food-friendly character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent everyday Sangiovese offering freshness, savoury complexity and effortless drinkability. Serve lightly chilled at around 14–16°C and enjoy now or over the next three to five years. A natural match for wood-fired pizza, pasta with tomato-based sauces, grilled sausages, veal parmigiana, antipasti or mushroom risotto.
