Cellaring - No need to age this wine, just enjoy now.
Winemaking - Tempranillo has been grown at S&K for many years and is one of the main varieties in our Vintage Fortified. We have extended its use to table wines because it is a hardy grape that can handle the pressures of a warmer climate, where some other varieties are lacking. In Rioja (Spain) this style would be classed as a ‘Joven’ style, meaning young and un-wooded, but being in the new world and Rutherglen in particular, this wine is lifted to an extra level.
If you would like to try the same variety in a different, more fuller-bodied style, try our Reserve Tinta Roriz. (It's known in our vineyard as the Portuguese Tinta Roriz however Tempranillo is the Spanish term for this wonderfully versatile variety.)
