Skipskop 2023 Sangiovese: A Rare Klein Karoo Gem Exclusive to the UK

Discover the unique charm of Skipskop’s 2023 Sangiovese, a limited-edition wine from South Africa’s Klein Karoo region, now available exclusively in the UK. This exceptional vintage stands out as the only Klein Karoo Sangiovese bottling on the market, offering a taste of warm-climate ripeness that’s both distinctive and unforgettable.

Aged to Perfection

Matured for 18 months in a blend of 225 L and 500 L oak barrels (second and third fill), this Sangiovese develops a harmonious balance of fruit and structure. The oak aging imparts subtle vanilla and spice notes, while preserving the wine’s vibrant character. Bottled unfiltered, it retains its natural complexity and depth.

Tasting Experience

Expect a burst of bright cherry and strawberry aromas on the nose, leading to a palate of luscious raspberry compote and dried herbs. The finish is elegantly dry, with fine, savory tannins that linger gently—a refreshing touch reminiscent of a cool night breeze in the vineyard.

Perfect Pairings

Ideal for summer gatherings, this Sangiovese pairs beautifully with grilled Mediterranean vegetables, tomato-based pasta dishes, or mild-flavored cheeses. Serve slightly chilled to enhance its refreshing qualities.

Origin & Craftsmanship

Hailing from the sun-drenched Klein Karoo in South Africa, this wine embodies the region’s warm climate and terroir. With an alcohol content of approximately 14.0%, it’s a well-balanced choice for those seeking a medium-bodied red with character.

Experience the rarity of Skipskop’s 2023 Sangiovese—a true collector’s item for wine enthusiasts and a delightful addition to any table.
