Camino Tempranillo 2022 750ml

Official Release March 1st

Indigenous to Spain, Tempranillo for centuries has powered the great wines of Toro, Ribera, and of course Rioja. Confined though to the restrictions of the EU, and at risk of being replaced by the drought loving grenache, it is interesting to explore the climatic and wine making practices in NZ. Given Tempranillo is far from home, and embarking on its own journey, the name 'Camino' seems fitting.

Sour cherries and herb take charge of your senses, the French oak adds intriguing spice, while the American oak respects its connection to rioja, and adds an illusion of sweetness on the palate. with a lingering finish full of spices and black liquorice. Fined with Egg Whites, traces may remain.
