As tempranillo means “early”, we successfully grow this Spanish varietal in the cooler climate of Carlton.  Lovely garnet color with scents of smoky paprika, bittersweet chocolate and fresh berries.  Juicy acidity brings flavors of sweet spice and cocoa powder with light toasty notes of smoke and a touch of graphite.  Barrel aged 24 months in 50% new American Oak  Cellar until 2027.  200 Cases
