2008 Sangipop (375ml)
ENJOY ... Sangipop is made to be enjoyed in the warmer months and is an ideal aperitif to be enjoyed before a meal in or out, or just shared with a friend. It is an excellent ‘starter’ on a night out or a ‘stayer’ over a long lunch. We even suggest that rather than just pouring Sangipop into a wine glass, try it over ice in a tumbler with a sprig of fresh mint or a squeeze of fresh lime.
CELLAR ... Drink now and enjoy!

Vintage conditions
Rutherglen fared particularly well in a vintage that saw floods and heat-waves cause havoc in many other Australian regions, with generally dry and moderately warm conditions resulting in great flavor development and wine balance. Yields, particularly in red varieties were lower than expected, largely due to small berry sizes, adding great intensity of colour and flavour.
Tasting notes
There is no doubt about it – pink is in and this summer sangipop might just be the coolest pink wine on the market. sangipop is a delicious berry bomb of Sangiovese flavour made with a hint of fizz, a touch of sweetness and loads of summer loving fun!

Paul Ippolito, The Five Minute Wine Rush, January 2007
'Rutherglen Estates in Northern Victoria has put together this hip and happening delightfully fruity aperitif. Gorgeously cherry red coloured and in a convenient half bottle, perfect for setting the mood for a fun night out. A touch spritzy, this Sangiovese influenced rosé style wine invigorates the senses. A bit of ice, a few sprigs of fresh mint, then pour it over and enjoy. And viola – the aperitif is back in vogue! Very nice stuff.'
