Rather than making another big Australian red, Jacques takes inspiration from the fresh, savoury Sangiovese wines you'd find in a little Tuscan trattoria.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd there's a reason this grape works so well at the dinner table. Sangiovese is the backbone of Chianti, famous for its bright cherry fruit, savoury character and tannins that love a good meal. Jacques brings that same philosophy to Kangaroo Island, letting the grape's Italian roots take the lead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes are picked overnight to preserve freshness, gently crushed and fermented at cool temperatures.

Close planting to restrict yields and increase concentration, fermentation in concrete tanks and old-fashioned basket pressing, plus quality fine-grained French oak, all combine to produce wines with great structure and longevity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Humble Grape","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":59013661524342,"sku":null,"price":41.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case of 6 x 750ml","offer_id":59013661557110,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case of 12 x 750ml","offer_id":59013661589878,"sku":null,"price":498.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2559\/9452\/files\/Sangiovese.png?v=1792138545","url":"https:\/\/shop.humblegrape.co.uk\/products\/the-islander-sangiovese-2024-kangaroo-island-australia","provider":"Humble Grape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
