Minim Hitch Young Sangiovese 2025
DOZEN: $367.20 or $30.60 each
Hitch has changed form over the years, but the goal has remained unchanged; a light chillable red packing loads of bright red fruit, acid, with subtle tannin .
Grown by Chalmers in Northern Heathcote, Hitch celebrates Sangiovese in its youth, picked a few weeks short of the single vineyard expression and handled gently to keep the tannins in check and hold tight to acid and fresh young fruit. Over winter, Hitch rested in barrel to soften tannins and was racked to tank, by gravity, in Spring.
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. - Minim Wine
