2019 Sanguine, Progeny, Shiraz

From the Heathcote region, this wine is a very deep dark red hue, showing great concentration. A warm vintage shining through with an array of berries. Cherry stands proudly amongst the usual pepper and spices that the Sanguine vineyard throws up. Probably the smoothest early release Progeny to date with mouth filling richness and softening tannin with just a hint of oak in the background, as all good Progenys before it.
