The Spanish fieasta is here – crack out the Tempranillo (tem-prah-ni-yo) and serve up the chorizo. My forefathers were from Spain, but I am a local through and through. I grew up in the Canberra region and my grapes were carefully picked by hand, only the best will do so naturally I was aged in French oak. I have a curvaceous medium body, a rich mouth feel and plum fruit flavours with earthy hints of mature spice and black tea tannin.

Our tempranillo is rich, yet silky smooth with mulberry and spiced dark berry flavours. A beautiful deep garnet with rich mulberry and earthy aromatic characteristics. An excellent food wine with its medium-body, fresh tannins accompanied by the dark fruit flavours of mulberry, cherry and blackberry.

Cherry red, with a good layer and bright tones. Its intense nose stands out, with aromas of red fruits perfectly combined with toasted and vanilla aromas. Fresh and fruity on the palate with soft tannins. End with very spicy aromas.

Blackwood Valley Wine Region, WA Tasting: Super rich, with plenty of intense berry fruits.Blackberries and dark cherries intertwine with raspberry and spice. Fruit-first, and a very attractive wine. Firm tannins that aid in structure and complexity, while remaining silky and highly approachable. Subtle earthen notes, with tobacco and cigar box. Winemaking: The fruit here comes from the Boyup Brook Vineyard. Small, concentrated berries are the source of the depth, structure and complexity of this wine. Fermented in open-tops and plunged twice daily until optimalextraction and maceration was achieved. Pressed off the skins and allowed to finish ferment in stainless tanks, before being racked to barrel and aged for around 8 months in older oak. Precise blending of the two varieties took place to achieve the desiredcharacter of this wine.
