Tasting Notes

Shy Susan Sangiovese 2022

"A new wine under the Shy Susan brand that takes winemaker Glenn James away from Tasmania and closer to home. Boasts a richness and weight not usually seen in sangiovese, a complexity, too. Concentrated and boasting layers of deep flavour, it canvasses the grape's immediate earthy red fruits, plum and spice against a structure of well-managed oak, coiled tannins and discreet savoury influences. What a beauty." 96 points, Special Value, Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion

The cool climate project of husband and wife Glenn James and Jo Marsh, where the sole focus is producing wines of elegance and poise. They became Halliday darlings when Shy Susan debuted as Best New Winery in the 2020 Companion. Sourcing fruit from only the most exceptional vineyards, the wines are produced in miniscule quantities. The beautiful label art is the ‘Shy Susan (Tetratheca gunnii); a critically endangered wildflower endemic to a tiny part of Tasmania. Her survival depends completely on 
a little native bee, who alone is capable of pollination. Their fate is forever entwined.’
