TEMPRANILLO |
Tempranillo is a traditional red wine variety of Rioja in Spain. The variety makes wines of fine balance and great ageing potential. Some Grand Reserva Rioja wines are kept in barrels for up to 24 months and then in bottles for up to 12 months before being released.
HAWKES RIDGE WINE ESTATE 2010 TEMPRANILLO |
This wine has a deep, rich red colour with aromas of black cherry, spice and leather. On the palate it has rich dark fruit and spice with well integrated oak. This wine will reward careful cellaring for the enthusiast but is drinking well now for those with less patience.
FOOD MATCH: Meats and game, particularly Venison and Beef.
