The 2023 High Country Alpine Valleys Tempranillo is the latest addition to an impressive range of Tempranillo made by Gapsted Estate in the cool climate Alpine Valleys of North East Victoria.
A soft, approachable, cool-climate local example of Tempranillo, this opens with lifted aromatics of dark cherry, raspberry and spice. The medium-bodied palate is fruit-driven with layers of blackberry, redcurrant and mocha chocolate, supported by subtle oak and nice a touch of tannin. A wine intended to be enjoyed in the short to medium term, this offers great value drinking at this discounted price (RRP $28).
"Excellent, affordable entry point for the grape variety, and it's a style that offers a different, savoury, earthy take. A quick decant opens it up fully to reveal cassis, with cherry and blue fruits sprinkled in spice and wrapped tightly in gravelly tannins. Offers glimpses of smoked meat and earth, with an astringent dry finish. $28. 14% alc. 88 Points. Drink: 2025 - 2027. Screwcap"- Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion.
