Oliver’s Taranga Tempranillo 2023

Another Spanish star, Tempranillo may be more at home in Rioja but is really making waves down here and McLaren Vale seems ideally suited to it. The colour is that of black cherries. The flavours dark and concentrated, with roast meats and leather, dry herbs and soy, licorice and cherry. A wine of medium length, there are abundant tannins yet pleasingly fine. The concentration continues throughout the wine. Enjoy over the next four to six years.
