Tar & Roses Tempranillo 2022 Heathcote - 6 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION:

Since 2004, Don Lewis and Narelle King have been making wine in Priorat, Spain. Their immersion within the classic European wine regions and varietals sparked their interest in how these varietals could be grown and made in their own regions within Central Victoria.Crushed and de-stemmed into one static fermenter which was pumped over twice a day. During fermentation the temperature and acid levels were monitored constantly, the wine was pressed to tank using an air bag press then racked off gross lees and transferred to barrel to finish malolactic fermentation.

TASTING NOTES:

Deep burgundy. Fruit cake and cherries on the nose with hints of campfire coals. Sweet plums and rhubarb on the palate, plush and round. Well balanced with substantial chalky tannin, the wine finishes rich and long. Pork spare ribs with homemade plum sauce.
