Primo Estate Il Briccone Shiraz/Sangiovese 2024

Vibrant red berry fruit with attractive spice notes. The palate is full bodied with plum and pepper. The Sangiovese gives a burst of refreshing cherry fruit and a savoury finish. Spicy and elegant.  

Our McLaren Vale vineyards on the valley floor enjoy cooling sea breezes and warm days, giving full fruit flavours and spicy notes.

A mild winter and dry spring set up small, concentrated Shiraz berries. Warm, sunny days through late summer delivered rich, ripe flavours and silky tannins, with lifted spice and depth that reflect a standout McLaren Vale vintage. 

The fruit was crushed directly into traditional open-topped fermenters then manually pumped-over. Open-topped fermentation is at the heart of Primo Estate’s red wine style. Joe says: ‘The soul of a red wine is release where air meets the fermenting skins’.
