Ravensworth Estate Sangiovese 2019

Ravensworth Estate Sangiovese 2019"Bryan Martin and sangiovese should be shouted from the rooftops." Mike Bennie Bryan Martin established his own label Ravensworth in 2001 while working as Tim Kirks righthand man at the iconic Clonakilla winery. With over 15 years experience at Clonakilla, it is no wonder that his wines have achieved cult status and become a favourite of Australian wine lovers. The 2019 Ravensworth Estate Sangiovese is an exceptional Sangiovese off 20 year old vines
