Indulge in this deliciously complex, Tuscan-inspired blend of Sangiovese and classic Bordeaux varieties. With fruit-forward flavours of dried cherry and plum paired with notes of tobacco and oak, Tosca is a true Italian masterpiece. The perfect balance of herbaceous, sweet and spicy notes is a testament to the attention to detail of our founder, Giulio.
Morgenster’s version of a Super Tuscan-style blend, crafted from Sangiovese and Bordeaux varieties. Typical Sangiovese warmth and elegance with a silky tannin structure. Supremely elegant on the palate and medium to full-bodied in style. Tosca is created to appeal to a variety of palates, classically styled and complex.

The two cabs (31/4) are in the cast in 21 (91 pts), franc’s pervasive perfume & tannins almost steal the limelight from lead player sangiovese’s smoky cherry & aniseed. Complex & engaging, balanced & fresh. Blended after partial ageing, total 12 months, 20% new. Deserves ageing.

Tosca is a nod to Morgenster’s Italian roots, partnering Sangiovese with 31% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. Engagingly perfumed, the resulting blend has tobacco leaf and Mediterranean herb aromas, black cherry and summer pudding fruit and cinnamon spicy 20% new wood. 2024-30

For over 30 years he has put his heart into soil and cellar here at Morgenster Estate. All our grapes are hand-picked to ensure that only the finest make it into every bottle – that’s the Giulio way. To pay homage to this true visionary, we’ve renamed our prestigious Italian Collection as The Giulio Range. Each wine is inspired by his love for opera, bringing his undeniable Italian flair to tables across the world
