The 2018 Extreme Ways Tempranillo has red fruits: cherries, raspberry, mulberry and earthy fresh leather complexity. There is also underlying cardamom and some white flowers. Rich and generous on the palate the 2018 Extreme Ways is a product of perfect ripening in a great Frankland vintage. The succulence is balance by fine graphitic tannins with a gentle drying dustiness on the long finish.

Tired of drinking Shiraz and Cabernet? Then try Spain's noble variety Tempranillo with an Aussie twist, made by Ben Riggs. Blackberry fruit flavours with aromas of violets and bramble. Mr Riggs has more savour than the usual Australian red.

A vibrant, medium-bodied Tempranillo sourced from the King Valley and Heathcote regions of Victoria. Smooth, juicy, berry flavours and subtle, earthy spice. Great paired with people.

Made from a blend of Frankland WA grown Shiraz and handpicked bushvine Tempranillo. Each wine was allowed to ferment naturally on skins using only the wild yeast then they were basket pressed and blended. The Shiraz provides body and complexity to the tannin component of the lighter Tempranillo. The result is a fruit driven, unoaked red with berry and spice elements, great texture, and a bright acidity.

This Tempranillo combines wild blueberry with subtle spice and savoury earthiness complemented by elegant complexity and a lingering finish.

Plump, structured and decidedly moreish, this Hunter Valley red is a must try for any fan of Aussie Tempranillo.

Dionisio Ruiz planted his first vine in 1975. A vineyard on an old gravel pit which reproduced the natural conditions in which vines grow in La Rioja. And so began a pioneering road. Viña Ijalba, founded in 1991, elaborating quality ecological wines using traditional techniques of la Rioja, and even now, in its third generation, respecting its compromise with the environment. Viña Ijalba Tempranillo Rioja 2021 is 100% tempranillo like many of those wines that have written the history of DO Rioja. It is generous through all phases of the tasting. Violet colour, with a fresh vibrant aroma of red fruit, typical of Tempranillo. On the palate it is full-bodied, fresh and full of flavour, with a concentration of red berries. Pairs best with light meat, appetizers, rich fish and light cheese.
