2022 Tar & Roses Tempranillo, Heathcote

Fits a lot of tempranillo flavour and finesse in for the price. A lot. Maintains a degree of elegance while pursuing distinctive tempranillo spiciness and generous black and red fruits. Black cherry, plum and acacia join anise and spices in a gently flowing tempranillo. Everything is nicely in place for your drinking pleasure.

Dense, dry and full, this Tempranillo is a delectable blend of blueberries, plums and savoury tannin, with hints of charcoal, coconut, star anise, nutmeg and chocolate around the edges. It’s long and elegant, taking you on a more-ish journey right to the end.

Tar & Roses Tempranillo is an excellent example of how well this Spanish variety can adapt to Australian conditions, offering a wine that is both approachable and complex.
