Dry, Medium Bodied style of Tempranillo
About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of TempranilloRecommended food pairings: The medium bodied style and savoury flavours of this wine render it quite versatile to a range of dishes. A paella incorporating spicy chorizo, olives, capers and anchovies would be lovely, or rack of lamb with an olive tapenade and rosemary coating, served with artichokes and eggplant. Also, this wine would be a wonderful with slow cooked lamb shoulder incorporating herbs such as thyme, sage, oregano and rosemary.
Growing Conditions: The Tempranillo (72%) grapes were grown at our Banksdale and Heathcote vineyards while the Graciano (28%) is grown at our Milawa property. The fruit was harvested from early March to early April.
Winemaker: Geoff Alexander
Winemaking notes: The Graciano spent 12 months in older French and American oak, while the Tempranillo was unwooded to retain as much fruit aromas as possible. It was bottled with an alcohol of 14.5%, a pH of 3.49, and an acid level of 6.6 g/L.

Here's a wine that grabbed our attention immediately. It's spot on for balance, medium bodied, and packed full of flavour. The blend of those two great Spanish varieties, tempranillo and graciano, works perfectly. The winemaker has wisely left the oak well in the background. Its savoury, ripe plum, cola and dark fruit flavours are fresh and vital. More than anything, and this is not faint praise, it's very interesting to drink and will work very well with grilled meat.
