The 2024 Coulter Sangiovese is a vibrant Adelaide Hills Sangiovese crafted by Chris Coulter using a minimal-intervention approach that celebrates the bright, savoury character of this classic Italian variety. Produced with carbonic maceration and 5% whole-bunch fermentation, the wine is highly aromatic, offering lifted notes of red cherry, cranberry, red stone fruit and delicate florals, with hints of liquorice and savoury spice adding complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with juicy sour cherry and red berry flavours, lively natural acidity and fine, powdery tannins. Bright and energetic, the wine delivers subtle herbal and savoury nuances that complement its vibrant fruit, finishing long, fresh and beautifully balanced. Its youthful style and restrained winemaking make it exceptionally food-friendly while retaining the structure to develop further in bottle. The 2024 vintage was awarded 94 points by Campbell Mattinson.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy fresh, medium-bodied reds with vibrant acidity, savoury complexity and outstanding versatility at the table. Pair it with tomato-based pasta, wood-fired pizza, grilled pork, roast chicken or charcuterie. Enjoy it now for its lively fruit and freshness, or cellar for 5–7 years to allow its savoury notes and silky texture to evolve.
