Sentio Beechworth Shiraz 2023

Sentiō Wines, under the guidance of winemaker Chris Catlow, crafts wines that express the unique characteristics of their origin. Handpicked fruit is separated into two parcels: one is de-stemmed and partially crushed, fermented in stainless steel; the other undergoes fermentation with 100% whole clusters in an open-top concrete vessel. The resulting wines are pressed into a mix of barrique, demi, and puncheons, then blended before bottling. Noted for its exaggerated perfume, raspberry coulis, and ample spice, the wine has a tight, minerally palate with juicy, sweet, and lively red fruit. Sourced from vineyards with northeast aspects on granite soil at an altitude of 570m, the wines reflect the vintage conditions of Victoria. Chris, with extensive experience in Victoria and Burgundy, aims to create wines that tell the story of their vineyard and region.
