What to Expect

Most famous as the predominant grape in the blended wines of Rioja, Tempranillo has emerged as a potential star in regions as disparate as Australia and California. Tempranillo generally produces medium-bodied wines with juicy acidity and bright raspberry fruit enlivened by notes of dusty earth, dry herbs and leather. Tempranillo is often blended with Grenache, Graciano, and Mazuelo (aka Carignan) in the production of red wine from the Rioja region of Spain.

Winemakers Notes

Very loud flowers and ripe.dried herbs are detected in the exotic aroma, along with a wide array of fruits - cherries, cranberries, mulberries, plums, boysenberries and blackberries. Also showing is a warm, rich, earth character leading into forest floor. The palate is immediately fruity with all sorts of red and blackberries, lots of dark cherries, boysenberries and a seam of violets working through. It is rich and juicy with lively, gritty tannins. A very long earth and dried herb end with a twist of liquorice and blackberry completes the finish. This is a big wine built for the long haul. Recommended read more...

VarietiesTempranillo (45%) Grenache (43%)Souzao (12%)The inspiration behind this name came from the age-old proverb ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.' The unusual and quirky names that d'Arenberg's range of wines have has never done the winery any harm. d'Arenberg uses sticks (vine cuttings) planted into stony soils to produce the grapes that result in this wine.
