Tempranillo Wines

Mr Mick would have been extremely proud of this wine. Mirroring the central areas of Spain, which Tempranillo calls home, the warm dry growing conditions of the Clare Valley is the ideal climate to make this variety shine. Take it from us when w...

Tempranillo is an innovative varietal for Brown Brothers that is now being released nationally for the third time due to its great success at Cellar Door. The wine has been developed in the Brown Brothers “Kindergarten Winery” - a mini winery focu...

D.O. Toro is about 1.5 hours due north of Madrid and specialises in Tempranillo. Toro's soil is rich, alluvial, and the temperature is blistering in summer, which makes it famous for very boisterous, full-bodied dry reds. It will not surprise if T...

Telmo Rodriguez is a passionate opponent of the internationalisation of Spanish vineyards, and is dedicated to a way forward for Spain which combines indigenous varieties with superior viticulture and winemaking. He and his wine-making and viticul...

The team at Roda are not merely dedicated, they are detail-obsessed. Perhaps the most impressive (mahogany-scented) winery I've set foot in; everything is about the production and retention of grape quality - the modern approach to wine through vi...

PSI is the brainchild of Peter Sisseck, founder of Dominio de Pingus. The idea is to utilise some neglected, but potentially great old assets, human and vinous, of Ribera del Deuro. In short, they are the old bush-vine holdings of the senior citiz...

Pingus was established in 1995 by Peter Sisseck, who had already made a name for himself as winemaker at Hacienda Monasterio. He located three separate plots, each containing very old vines of Tinto Fino, and established the winery. His aim was to...

Neither jubey nor dry, this mid-weight premium drinks well now and has a decent future. Dark, purply and spicy fruit spectrum is given wonderful style and mouthfeel by great fruit tannin and beautifully integrated acid and subtle French oak. Every...

The wines from this 35 y.o. vineyard have freshness and are elegantly structured. Red fruits, beet, radish, candied pomegranate, gentle dark spice and clay soil perfume, really lovely florals - peony, old rose. Good roundness and volume in the mou...

Pagos Viejos are old vineyards, in this case one of 50 and another of 80 years. Lovely wine, leads with liquorous red cherry glamoured up with a sweep of Riojan dried herb aromatics. Great volume, spicy fruit and ripe natural tannins/acid riding o...

West-facing situated to the afternoon sun, this 55 y.o. planting yields rich and dark fruits - morello cherry and cherry ripe chocolate. Sturdy, savoury with dark florals, and a solid linear palate with lots of soil influence and a great spice/aci...

Fine purply fruits, blue florals and those Rioja dried herbs, and gorgeous sweet-sour-spicy pippy berries. To say that it has the manner, perfume and texture of Grand Cru Burgundy says very good things about Burgundy?!

In the Rio Seco, it’s south-east facing, with deep limestone and clay soils. 'El Carretil' is 5.5 ha, and plantings range in age between 50-80 years. The nose is savoury, subtle, mature and pure. Dark and foresty woodspice aromatics with tuber-ros...

The Moses Rock range of wines have been crafted from carefully selected fruit and are made to reflect the terroir of Margaret River. Tempranillo grapes sourced from the Geographe and Margaret River regions have been skilfully blended to create th...

The colour is rich and intense ruby red. On the nose you can notice aromas of mulberry, dried figs and raspberry jam. In the mouth it has smooth and round tannins, with good balance and a long finish.

Appearance: Dense crimson ruby with bright rim. Nose: The bouquet is of dark cherry and blackberry fruit conserve with some spicy notes, notably cinnamon and toasted vanillan. Palate: Good fruit weight with medium body, power and richness yet wi...

Appearance: Bright and intense ruby. Nose: The bouquet is most harmonious highlighting liquorice and red fruits over nuances of spice including vanillan and chocolate. Palate: Flavours of red fruits, liquorice and dark chocolate follow through o...

A blend of Shiraz (very Australian) and Tempranillo (very Spanish), this medium bodied, savoury red is a lovely escape from the more punchy rich styles that Australia is probably better known for. The good thing about such escapes from sweeter sty...

If you want to discover a taste of Spain, here is a good starting point. The Spanish know how to make value Tempranillo, their native red grape, and this is no exception. Now, it's not what you would call 'fruit-driven', but it is a great food win...
