Tempranillo
Wangolina A-Series Tempranillo 2022
The Wangolina Tempranillo 2022, grown in the Mundulla region of the Limestone Coast, showcases this Spanish variety’s ability to flourish in a moderate Australian climate. Tempranillo ripens earlier than other red varieties, and it was Wangolina’s first venture into alternate varietals.
The grapes undergo a 48-hour cold maceration after crushing, followed by 12 days on skins with a wild ferment. The wine is then matured in seasoned French Oak barriques to achieve an authentic expression of Tempranillo.
This Tempranillo reveals focused aromas of raspberry, black cherry, ripe juicy fig, and raspberry highlights. The varietal tannins provide a soft, chalky texture beneath the fruit, which flows into a savory backbone with hints of green tobacco and rosemary. Perfectly paired with a local lamb chop on the BBQ.
