Modern • Vibrant • Possibly the Best Tempranillo in SA Right Now

“A beautifully pure, fragrant and seriously impressive Tempranillo — arguably South Australia’s best release this year.”

Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Deep ruby with a bright crimson edge — youthful and energetic.

Aroma:
A wonderfully lifted, expressive nose of:

• black cherry and dark plum

• redcurrant and blackberry

• dried herbs, anise and warm spice

• subtle cocoa and savoury complexity

Bright fruit meets beautiful savoury nuance — classic Tempranillo with a modern Australian freshness.

Palate:
Medium-bodied, silky and superbly balanced.
Expect flavours of:

• juicy black cherry

• plum and mulberry

• savoury spice, bay leaf and dried herbs

• fine dusty tannins and fresh acidity

Textural, vibrant and clean — the hallmark precision of a top-class Tempranillo.

Finish:
Long, elegant and moreish, with lingering red fruit, spice and earthy complexity.

Why It Stands Out

• 95pts – McLaren Vale Wine Show
  Awarded Runner-Up for Best Tempranillo — in a region producing some of SA’s top examples.

• This release showcases remarkable purity, balance and authenticity, and may well be the best South Australian Tempranillo of the year at its price point.
