SKU: WIL100TEMP23
The Willunga 100 Tempranillo 2023 comes from a cool climate vineyard at approximately 280m above sea level, adjacent to the picturesque Kuipto forest. This showcases the vibrant potential of this Spanish grape in South Australia’s McLaren Vale region. This expressive red wine immediately appeals with bright aromatics of red cherry and plum, complemented by hints of warm spice and a subtle earthiness. On the palate, the tempranillo varietal characteristics shine through with generous blue and dark fruit notes, backed by a persistent line of fresh acidity. Its fine-grained, silky tannins provide excellent structure and a smooth, savoury finish, making this an incredibly versatile and appealing wine for modern red wine drinkers.

”From a vineyard in Tatachilla on loamy sand over light clay; wild fermentation; three days post-ferment on skins; eight months in older French puncheons. Tart boysenberry, cherry cola, tar, blackberry pastille, violet, cola, anise and leather announce variety across a wine of medium intensity and enough oak ageing to pull back any fruitful frivolity without unduly occluding. This needs a little longer in bottle to sync fruit and acidity, with the release date well chosen.”
