Technical Details:
- Colour
- Purple with black hue.

- Vintage Notes
The 2007 growing season was our driest on record in Mclaren Vale, yet as we expected when we planted this robust grape variety, it not only tolerated the conditions, it flourished!
The 2007 tempranillo show cases our first 100% biodynamically grown and made wine; essentially it is as nature intended it with no additions made in the winery. We are immensely proud of this wine and the philosophy that brought it to life.
