Tempranillo 2021
Innocent Bystander

Tempranillo (sounds like temp-ra-neo) is a juicy, earthy, medium bodied red made famous by the Spaniards. Bursting with vibrant red fruit smothered in dusty spice and perfect with all things chargrilled and wood-fired. This Iberian wonder wine could be your new favourite drop.

Notes
-
Philip Rich, 2024 Halliday Wine Companion • 02/08/2023
"A medium crimson. Earthy with plum, spice and varietal raspberry cola notes while the medium-bodied palate is sweetly fruited with a touch of tannin to finish."
100% of the fruit was destemmed and cold-soaked. 100% malolactic fermentation, refraining from any maturation in oak to produce a fresh, ‘joven’ style of Tempranillo.
