The 2019 Mrs Q Sangiovese is a vibrant Adelaide Hills red that showcases the elegance and savoury character of this classic Italian variety. Crafted by Quarisa Wines, it opens with fragrant aromas of violets, ripe black cherry and dried plum, complemented by hints of blackcurrant, sage and subtle cedar from careful French oak maturation.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with chalky tannins, bright natural acidity and a smooth, balanced texture. Layers of black cherry, plum and dark berry fruit are supported by savoury herbs, gentle spice and well-integrated oak, leading to a long, dry finish with freshness and finesse. Small open fermentation and 16 months in older French oak help preserve the wine's varietal purity and structure.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2019 Mrs Q Sangiovese is an excellent choice for those who enjoy elegant, food-friendly reds with vibrant fruit and savoury complexity. It pairs beautifully with wood-fired pizza, tomato-based pasta dishes, grilled lamb or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now, or cellar over the next 3–5 years as its savoury character continues to evolve.
