A profound, textural wine, showing the suitability of Tempranillo to our site. Richly perfumed black fruit flavours of cherry, blackberry and cola are tightly coiled around grainy, savoury tannin. Will reward cellaring and decanting.
Within days of our first harvest of Tempranillo (in 2003) we knew we were onto something. The ferment smelled so intoxicating, and so different from the other varieties we make. That is precisely how the wine turned out, and while we only make small quantities, it sells very quickly.
Tempranillo has become our flagship variety. It is clearly very well suited to the site.
"Smells of dark cherry, cassis and brambly berries and baking spices - this is one fine Tempranillo from the Canberra District. The palate has snappy tannin and plenty of sweet fleshy fruit, it handles the alcohol and the oak admirably and makes a brash, delicious young red. 93 points." (Nick Stock, Wine 100 June 2010)
