Description

A stroke of genius from winemaker Tim Sproal

Named for the late Christopher Hitchens, this wine is less about deep contemplation as was Hitch's way, this is more about fun and frivolity. Whole berry action and a short maceration keep the tannins at bay and bring forth the acid and bright red fruit.

The resulting glass of wine is about as fun and perky as a red wine gets. Knock a little chill into it. Don't take life too seriously.

    2020 Minim Hitch Sangiovese Nero d'Avola
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Great little wine

    this wine is really light and perfect for a warm afternoon drink.

Hitch has changed form over the years, but he goal has remained unchanged; a light red for spring packing loads of bright red fruit, acid and texture that’s ideal for drinking in Australian summers.

This wine, grown by Chalmers in Northern Heathcote, celebrates Sangiovese in its youth, and comes an earlier pick and a shorter maceration of whole berries without work of the ferment. A short maceration to temper the tannin and hold tight to acid and fruit. Over winter, Hitch rested in barrel to soften tannins and was racked to tank, by gravity, in Spring. Bottled in late Spring with a small sulphur addition.

This wine is vivid, fresh and aromatic, with raspberries, cranberries and red jelly frogs and velvety tannins from front to back, the IDEAL chill able red and perfect for outdoor drinking. I adore sangiovese in its youth….such delicious fruit, and whilst this isn’t a super reinforced dense expression, the form is linear and complete and holds the fruit very gracefully.

Please enjoy….all summer.
