"Consistently one of my favourite value for money red wines."
"Super smooth and super tasty… The bottle will be drained in quick time."
"This is another good drink. One glass wasn’t enough, let’s just say."
There's not much more we need to add to the above; I think you get that picture that this is one very drinkable bottle of wine. And at this incredible deal price, it makes this a no-brainer for those of you looking to expand your vinous horizons.
Aussie tempranillo (pronounced tem-pra-nee-yo) is still a relatively small part of the Australian wine scene, but it is one of the fastest growing in terms of plantings, notable for its suitability to the terroir, attractive colour, juicy, rustic fruit profile, and food-friendly nature. Often considered as Pinot on steroids, all the fragrance and perfume of Pinot, plus a bit more mid-palate flesh, colour and tannin.
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Born from a different attitude and different approach. We bucked tradition, championing Spanish varietals from the Barossa made in a bright, exciting style. This Barossa Tempranillo is picked at optimum fruit flavour for a mouth-watering medium-bodied wine. Perfect as is, or slightly chilled.
Fermentation with yeasts indigenous to the vineyards was followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation in new and mature Hungarian oak barrels. Our aim has been to showcase the stylish fruit flavours and lovely tannins of Tempranillo complemented by very subtle oak."

"Consistently one of my favourite value for money red wines. It really captures so much about the engaging drinking qualities of this variety with a spicy cola character on the nose merging into the black fruits, while the palate delivers with a plush mix of dark chocolate and wild berry. It’s also soft and velvety with a smooth succulent mouth feel."

"Super smooth and super tasty with an easy-going persona, it's all charcuterie, pan juices, dark cherries and chocolate. Its pretty blue and purple flower perfume keeps you coming back for more. The bottle will be drained in quick time. Give it a slight chill in warmer months to further enhance its versatility but pizza, pasta and burger night are bursting at the seams to sit beside this."

"The Running With Bulls wines are always around the mark and this is another good drink. Red berried fruit flavours with some darker tones blend nicely with woodsy spice and florals. It’s medium in weight but it feels well-rounded and while I wouldn’t call it creamy there’s a pleasing softness to the texture. One glass wasn’t enough, let’s just say."
