Bec Hardy Tempranillo 2024

Great to see this Spanish star variety doing so well in a number of regions in Australia and it certainly works especially well in McLaren Vale. This is a cracking wine and tremendous value. The colour is black cherry/magenta, while the nose features cherries galore, along with spices, black fruits, smoked meats and chocolate. Absolutely delicious, there is a pleasing savouriness to the wine with abundant, yet fine-grained tannins, intricate balance and excellent length. A joy to drink now and will surely continue to be for the next four to six years.
