THe WINEMAKING

A full-bodied Tempranillo in the traditional Spanish Reserva style. This beast was tamed with extended time in oak to smooth and texturize. Medium ruby to garnet in the glass and brimming with plum, fig, cedar and leather. 

The Vineyard

The maritime influence at our Langhorne Creek vineyard that is created by the afternoon sea breezes allows fruit flavours to evolve without excessive sugar production. The limestone based soils create wines of power and elegance with great varietal character. This vineyard is ideal for precision control over water use on the vines and known to provide more structural wines.

A thoroughly enjoyable and impressive Tempranillo for drinking any time over the next six to eight years.

It’s gnarly and a meaty wine, perfect for chargrilled fatty meats like lamb ribs with chermoula. Experience the serious side of Tempranillo

Taste profile

Primary flavors

Cherry

Fruit flavors in red wines typically fall into two different categories: red fruit and black fruit flavors. Cherry flavour falls into the red fruit categories but the cherry flavours span from red to black, and fresh to sweet. Confusing! Red Cherries can typically be found in young Grenache. Black Cherries are found in mature Pinot Noir.

Plum

The flavors of Plums can span from red to black, from freshness to sweetness to Prunes. Red Plum flavors are found in easy-drinking red wines. Black Plum flavors are found in full bodied red wines.

Leather

A leather wine tasting note is often paired with notes of vanilla, toast and cedar. It's a savoury note that you'll often find in a wine that has muted primary fruit characteristics that come from the grapes themselves. There are some that believe that leather is more of a texture from tannins than an aroma.

Secondary flavors

Vanilla

Vanilla is a result of oak aging. The wood acts as a seasoning to add flavor and texture to a wine.

Herbaceous Notes

Herbaceous notes unfold a garden-fresh tapestry of aromas and flavours similar to herbs such as mint, vegetables such as asparagus or freshly cut grass. These aromas are generated by a component in white and red grapes, called pyrazine.
