The Los Hermanos label is an ode to the cultures that drink a small glass of wine with every meal, the alfresco conversations with breeze in your hair, sand in your shoes and long days in the sunshine. Inspired by the Spanish who demonstrate how minimal ingredients can result in maximum flavours. Los Hermanos by Crittenden celebrates the heart of eating and drinking, a coupling to soothe the soul.
2023 Los Hermanos Saludos
$26 | 91 Points
Gros Manseng grown in the King Valley, made in a lively, just spritzy style designed for salty foods of the sea. Here you will find fennel, grapefruit, Bosch pears and cornmeal. Pumice stone, sea shell and tarragon. Rice, lees, aloe and raw almonds. A texture of lanolin across the palate with chewy acidity. It’s savoury with dried herbal notes full of salinity and a touch pithy. Impossible not to keep drinking and perfect with excellent quality Boquerones or fresh white anchovies and bread.
2022 Los Hermanos Tempranillo
$30 | 91 Points
Prune plums, mulberries and black cherry skin. Sweet vanilla bean, dried blueberries and cardamon. It’s pungent in its intensity of black fruit with sweet baking spices and laurel leaf. Judicious oak usage has captured the freshness and zeal of the wine, making for brittle tannins and astute acidity. It’s not heavy or light, it sits right in the middle with plenty of flavour and stuffing. This is your crowd pleaser, go with all dishes, delivers every time, kind of wine. Its price point enables that too. Drink now and serve with a red based seafood stew dotted with black olives and spikes of chilli.
