Description Get the best tasting Tempranillo from Spain and Australia for just $20.99 a bottle. In this selection you can savour a Spanish Tempranillo from Valdepenas DO as well as straight Aussie versions from Head Wines in the Barossa and Willunga 100 from the Adelaide Hills. Also in the selection is a blend of Tempranillo Graciano from Hungerford Hill and a smooth and juicy Tempranillo Grenache from Zonte’s Footsteps. Fire up the barbecue as these wines all love chargrilled meats.
Making this juicy yet savoury red blend came down to splitting hairs, as the winemakers at Zonte's Footstep tweaked the proportions of the blend in tiny one percent increments until the perfect balance was achieved.
A rare Barossan, spanish-inspired blend with a "richness of black fruit fills from entry while supple vanilla and cola spices flow around the edges" (The Real Review). Given 94pts and a special value star by Halliday.
"A succulent wine drinking well" says Huon Hooke. "This is impressive" writes Ned Goodwin in the Halliday Wine Companion, and we think that both writers are bag on!.
Spain meets Australia in this Trophy and multi-Gold combo from cool-climate Hilltops.
Valdepeñas in central Spain has long been renowned for the quality of its fine, long-aged, traditional reds. Even so, Raices 2017 is a stand out – a Gran Reserva Tempranillo aged 18 months in French and American oak barrels, now deliciously mellow.
A blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Grenache, this playful drop struts dark, brooding Aussie pizzazz with old-world inspiration. Enjoy complex aromas of spiced plum, dark berries and savoury spice, hints of dark chocolate and vanilla.
