Tasting Notes
The evolution of this cuvee since bottling has been so great to see. It's a blend of all of the shiraz blocks from the property and is medium bodied and wonderfully supple. One of the great features of sandy soil is the capacity to make very fluid and drinkable wines and this cuvee has these attributes in spades - this is so, so pleasant to drink. - Distributor Note
I finished studying winemaking in Adelaide in 2005 and then worked in wineries all over the world for a few years. It was on Mount Etna in 2010 where my understanding of farming/growing grapevines and working with your environment really started. In 2013 I grew grapes, made the wine in my garage and created my first wines under my own label 'SRC " (this stood for Sam, Rori and Cinzia). Unfortunately my financial business partner, a powerful Sicilian businessman, forced me out with nothing to show for almost 2 years of work.
I returned to Australia just before the 2015 harvest which would be my first under the 'Sam Vinciullo " label in Margaret River, Western Australia. For the first 3 vintages I purchased grapes grown the same way as I farm currently. The aim was always to get back to farming 100% myself.
I pride myself on not compromising my values and having integrity and honesty with everything I do.
