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.

Really nice drop. When I first opened it, smelled a little 'brassy' and thought it needed to be put down a little longer. First sip was a bit 'young' and acidic for my liking. However, after a few sips and it had a chance to breathe, really enjoyed the subtleties. I have to admit, I didn't bother decanting it (who does!?)

For a die-hard muted merlot fan (not big on tannins or big brassy, american style wines) this really opened my tongue up to a nice, different, sharper wine with tangy, peppery flavours and (for me) a hint of berries in the aftertaste.
