Brown BrothersMinimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
Vibrant, youthful and bright, this refreshing Tempranillo is turning red on its head. With savoury notes of juicy fruit and fine, lengthy tannins that leap out of the glass, this wine is the perfect surprise and delight made for year-round enjoyment. In honouring the characteristics of the Tempranillo grape, this variety is perfectly suited to Australia’s diverse climates.
Delicious when chilled, keep this wine in the fridge before pouring alongside a Spanish paella, or spicy pizza topped with capers and olives.
In Spain, quite often the youthful red wines are served chilled to enhance the drinking experience. This is especially true in the tapas bars during summer. The Refreshing Tempranillo is perfect with range of tapas style foods like grilled octopus, patatas bravas and cheese croquetas. This wine is also perfect with cured meats and crumbly cheddar.
The fruit spent 5 to 7 days on skins, then blended with a red wine yeast strain, before the Tempranillo grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks. To enhance the freshness and fruit driven flavours this wine did not see any oak influence.
