Vineyard: Sourced from low yielding vineyards throughout the Barossa zone.
Season: A dry start to the vintage growing season with expected cooler evenings and seasonal late frosts. Little frost settled on the grape vines due to the site aspect.

The rain refreshed the vines to ripen with full colour and flavour intensity.

The final blend is Tempranillo, old vine Grenache and Graciano.

Adelaide Hills Tempranillo
Vineyard: Manicured old vines located in the Adelaide Hills region of Kuitpo forest. The vineyard is hand managed and monitored to continually produce high quality wine grapes.
Season: A challenging season to say the least with fruit production reduced by 20 to 50% due to a range of factors; wind effecting flowers, berry set and irregular rainfall. The spring growing season began well with good rains wetting the soil profile for a successful bud burst and positive sign of plenty of fruit bunches. The growing season was generally cool with a few extreme heatwaves to contend with in January-February. 2019 turned out to provide high quality wine grapes, with concentrated fruit in limited supply.
Wine making: Hand picked grape bunches were carefully sorted before 30% whole bunches were pressed and in open fermenters. This followed to a gentle basket press and transferred to seasoned French oak barriques for 9 months.
Appearance: Deep, dark purple red.
Aroma/Bouquet: A classic aromatic style of Tempranillo with notes of black cherry, pepper and violets. A hint of spearmint and graphite.
Palate: Plush fruit deliver a savory and mouth-watering wine. Balanced acid and tannin glide across your palate with striking flavours of ripe plum, sweet red and blackberry fruits. A sensational tasting experience with very long length.....take your time.
Food Pairing: Chinese spiced quail, slow cooked meat over wood fire coals, Moroccan chickpea curry. We recommend to decant this wine 2-3 hours beforehand.
