Halcyon Days Alcyone 2024 1.5L Magnum
The 2024 Alcyone is a fresh and juicy take on Sangiovese, showing bright red fruits and pomegranate aromas with a lovely lightness. It’s naturally lower in alcohol but still packs plenty of flavour and has a nice fine tannin structure that makes it super easy to enjoy. Made without any oak, this wine really lets the pure fruit and lively acid shine through. The grapes come from the organic Osawa vineyard in Mangatahi where the cooler climate and sandy loam soils over alluvial gravels give the wine great energy and a touch of complexity.
Handpicked and gently fermented with natural yeasts, this wine is all about pure expression and balance. It’s supple, vibrant, and perfect for anyone who loves a lighter, elegant red with a bit of Italian flair.
