Payten and Jones Valley Vignerons Sangiovese 2021 is a 75cL red wine from Australia. Payten and Jones was founded in 2006 by two school friends Behn and Troy. They claim to have been the only literate students to graduate in 1997 from their school in the Yarra Valley. Behn's father, Pete, is known for managing the first vineyard to be certified organic in Australia. Pete is now fully involved in the vineyards for both Behn and Troy. The V.V is Payten and Jones' signature series of wines, Valley Vignerons. Payten and Jones are a winery at the forefront of Australia's Natural Wine Movement. They are unpretentious, no-nonsense winemakers practicing organic and sustainable farming, minimal intervention vinification, using natural acid levels, indigenous wild yeasts, whole bunch fermentation, spontaneous malolactic conversion, and shunning the use of preservative SO2. All of their wines are unfined and unfiltered.
