Rioja winemakers would understand this wine; it is only just medium-bodied, but it has considerable length and intensity to its red fruit flavours, which are wreathed by persistent, albeit fine, tannins. Still in its infancy. Drink by: 2023

This may sound Spanish and it's made with Rioja's favourite grape, but it's produced in the cool Adelaide Hills of South Australia. The exceptionally well-made result is most un Aussie-like: juicy, succulent, some enticing, forward, bright-red fruits and a touch of oak.

This latest vintage delivers pure red to crimson plum fruits with a waft of mint in the aromatic background. Lip-smacking, moreish, refreshing red.

A pristine and translucent tempranillo whose vibrant, faintly minty expression of pure varietal fruit is underpinned by a chewy cut of crunchy tannin. Scented with a dusty, spicy perfume of sweet small red and black fruits and restrained older oak, it reveals a long, fine-grained palate of excellent length and texture. Likely to become more savoury with time in the bottle, it's a more elegant alternative to the juicy, densely packed tempranillos emerging from the warmer South Australian regions.
