Dalwood Tempranillo Touriga 2023

Some glossy blue and purple fruits, this shines a light on the bilbery, boysenberries and Davidson plum. Poppy seed and dark wild mint. Granitic black soils and bitter chocolate. The edge of tannins provides a frame but is fairly integrated into the body of the wine. You could call the wine friendly but don’t mistake it for being simple, it is anything but. A wine that showcases the suitability to both Tempranillo and Touriga in our abundant Aussie sunshine and cool evenings. A juicy wine for charred meats and blackened garlic. Drink now or cellar for 2-3 years.
