A high finesse Beechworth Sangiovese with sour cherry, dried herbs and a long, fine tannin finish.

Fighting Gully Road Sangiovese 2024 is a beautifully composed Beechworth red that leans into savoury detail, bright acidity and fine grained tannin structure. Led by vigneron Mark Walpole (with winemaking input often associated with Adrian Rodda), it’s a modern Australian Sangiovese that stays true to the variety, energetic, textural and built for the table.

James Halliday's Wine Companion - 96 Points

Mark Walpole loves sangiovese and the feeling is reciprocated. This is a mighty strong follow up to the '23, fairly bristling in cherry-fruited and aromatic brightness and crunch in youth, with an underlying brooding quality that says, 'just wait.' A smidge (5%) of the Tuscan colorino red grape adds to the iridescence of the cherry red, bright hues. Aromas rise in wild raspberries, red cherries, plum, florals, cumin, fennel seed, red earth and spice. The palate is nicely weighted, with brisk acid crunch, and is both upbeat and alive in spiced cherry, red fruits and an underlying savouriness of Campari, dried herbs, licorice and mineral earthiness. Potential? You bet! Jeni Port

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sour cherry and plum with nuances of dried herb and savoury spice.

Palate: Medium-bodied, savoury and textural with a bright line of acidity and finely woven tannins.

Finish: Long, persistent and structured, with mineral/earthy nuance and gentle spice.

Serving Suggestions

Great with pappardelle ragu, pizza, tomato based pasta, grilled sausages, roast lamb, or aged pecorino.

About the Winery / Producer / Region

Fighting Gully Road is based in Beechworth, North East Victoria, with vines first planted in the late 1990s and later grafted/reworked to Italian varieties including Sangiovese. Their wines are made at the historic Mayday Hills site in Beechworth (a restored 1867-era complex), reflecting the producer’s deep local roots and site focus.

Cellaring Potential

Enjoy now for freshness and drive, or cellar through 2033 for added savoury complexity.
