“A bright, lightly oaked Tempranillo, medium-bodied - perfect for any occasion”
SIZE: 750ML ALC/VOL: 13.0% VEGAN FRIENDLY: YES
Grape - Estate grown Tempranillo
Look - Clear garnet red
Aroma - Red cherry and cranberry
Taste - Medium bodied with lifted, light red fruit flavours and subtle tannins. The soft fruits extend over the entire length of the palate.
Occasion - Best served at room temperature or lightly chilled in summer.
Less of the wood spices and tannins make this a very approachable wine. Easy to appreciate, it is a good ‘anytime’ wine. A great match with food where you don’t want the wine to dominate the flavours of the meal.
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.)
