2024 Tempranillo

2024 Tempranillo

Beechworth, VIC

As expected of a red wine bottled after six months, the colour is deep red with bright magenta hues. Aromas of ripe red fruits and spice. A medium-weight palate with soft, ripe cherry and berry fruits from start to finish. Low astringency, but the tannins are ripe giving great ‘carry’ and finish. An easy drinking wine to enjoy with friends or at a Sunday BBQ.

Wine Profile
Vinification
As this is our tenth crop of Tempranillo, a lot of effort went into maintaining the bright fruit characters. Processing involved a short cold soak, then a four-day fermentation with pumping over. Oak maturation was in used French oak puncheons (500L) for just 6 months and then bottled.
Winemaker Comments
Tempranillo is one of the mainstay varietals of the Iberian Peninsula. It shares the red wine duties (and they’re often blended) with Grenache or Garnacha, as it is called. Like all winemaking regions worldwide, Spain and Portugal have a vibrant mix of young artisan winemakers working alongside very traditional wine-producing companies. The traditional style is matured in large Slovenian oak vats for many years before bottling, whereas the younger brigade strive for fruit freshness with the oak playing a supporting role. Some have adopted screw caps to maintain fruit clarity. The Brokenwood style is very much down this bright fruit path. A long and drawn out vintage in Beechworth due to above average rainfall, cooler than average temperatures over Spring with a heavy late October frost. Despite this, the small volume of fruit arrived to the winery in excellent condition.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with BBQ meats of any description.
Drink
Drinking well now but will improve with further bottle age.
