Notes: … and here it is… our first single-varietal Tempranillo, the Spanish variety that, it’s been claimed, was planted in the Iberian Peninsula by our ancestors the ancient Phoenicians thousands of years ago.
Let me say right away I’m hooked; dare I say it’s my new favourite?
This is lusciously delicious.
How to describe it? Floral, herbal, leafy with strong notes of black cherry.
There’s a wonderfully mysterious quality about it that I find utterly captivating.
Our first Tempranillo certainly won’t be our last… It will definitely feature regularly in our portfolio.

Technical Data: TA 3.5 g/l, RS 2.9 g/l
Alcohol content: 13%
Notes: If ever proof was needed that wine needs time, then this is it.
A small quantity of the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon was bottled in 500ml bottles but never released.
Tasting it today the palate emphasizes the black fruit character with notes of green pepper, mint and violet and hints of the wonderful tertiary aromas of black olive and mushroom. The tannins are smooth, body full and finish long.
