A Series Tempranillo
2024
Our most popular red wine. This Tempranillo is bright, rich, savoury & versatile.
Description
Grown in the Mundulla region of the Limestone Coast, Tempranillo is a Spanish variety that thrives in a moderate Australian climate. It is earlier to ripen compared to our other red varieties and Tempranillo was our first ‘alternate’ variety we dared to dabble with.
The grapes are crushed and cold macerated for 48hrs before 12 days on skins under a wild ferment. It is then matured in seasoned French Oak barriques for maximum Tempranillo expression.
Our Tempranillo shows focused aromas of raspberry, black cherry, ripe juicy fig and raspberry edges. Wonderful varietal tannins provide a soft chalky texture beneath the fruit, carrying into the delicious savoury backbone framed with a kiss of cedary oak tannins & a linger of green tobacco and rosemary. Incredible with a local lamb chop on the BBQ.
90 points – Lisa Cardelli – "A nose packed with macerated cherries, strawberries, red plums, and dried figs, where a herbal accent of tomato leaf cuts through, and timid notes of milk chocolate and vanillin make a subtle appearance. The palate is tightly coiled, with a moreish fruit profile and a slightly savoury finish in a Tempranillo marked by chewy tannins and refreshing drinkability."
