Gill Estate Rivah Tempranillo 2021

The tannins are dusty, earthy spices, and high-toned acidity. This is old school, but it’s still holding onto a little, effortless, cool vibe. Great at dinner parties. Drink it while the sunsets, and in between pieces of cheese you cut that’s too big for the cracker.

Carlos Sanchez Bienlarme Lágrimas Bellas Rioja 2022

Plenty of fruit on the nose, and that classic, big, round Tempranillo flavour profile we can't get enough of on the palate – bricky dusty tannins, green olives and that sarsaparilla note we love. Mid-year BBQs call for cosy, bold flavours and Campo is that! Delicious with dark chocolate and your couch blanket too.

Campo Flores Tinto Organico Tempranillo Syrah 2021

Perfect with lamb shoulder, beef ribs, veggie kabobs and almost anything else you can grill. A great gift for the host and one that’s not quite fancy enough for them to harbour so you’ll get more than a glass if you keep close.

Koomilya SC Pannell Tempranillo Touriga 2019

The ripeness of Hilltops' fruit is doing nothing but favours to this Tempranillo. Gloriously medium-to-full bodied in the glass with layers of sarsaparilla and cola nut meeting lovely herbaceous edges and a wash of leathery tannins.

Linear Tempranillo 2022

If you're in need of a lil' Spanish flair, pick up this bottle immediately. Straight-up Tempranillo layered with notes of cherry cola, ripe sarsparilla, currants and a lick of dusty tannin.

Viña Ijalba Tempranillo 2021

Traditional, savoury Rioja that’s destined for your dinner table. The aromas play with cherry, cinnamon, blackberry and clove and then you get to taste it and it’s all mouthwatering, lifted fruits, cake spices and just a lick of minerality. A really beautiful wine to spoil your Italian and French wine lovers with.

Bodega Akutain Crianza Rioja 2018

A savoury and structured Tempranillo layered with earthy red cherry, tobacco leaf, hints of black liquorice and some woodsy oak character. Drink this with your favourite Bordeaux drinker.

Lachargo Rioja Tempranillo 2021

Plum and some dark berry with a slight tar / soot vibe that makes it hit some delicious bulls eye. We bet you've got a few BBQs to attend over the warmer months and this is something you can rely on as a gift to the host, or a reliable treat for yourself.

## ABOUT TEMPRANILLO
Hardy and drought-resistant, Tempranillo has soared in popularity here in Australia due to its compatibility with both our warm climate and our love of hearty red wines. It can boast notes of juicy cherry, bright tomato, leather, tobacco—or at its best, a combination of all the above!  It’s the most planted variety in its spiritual homeland, Spain, where it is labelled under many denominations–the most internationally recognisable, of course, being Rioja. There are some fantastic Australian examples of Tempranillo, too, which offer a fantastic sidestep for lovers of bold Aussie reds such as Shiraz! 

Tempranillo is an incredibly versatile variety for the dinner table: youthful, guzzleable styles are often labelled as ‘Joven’ (Spanish for ‘young’) and make fantastic barbecue wines, whereas more savoury, oak-aged examples are a fantastic choice for hearty roasts and rich stews.
