About Kooyonga Creek Tempranillo 2021 750mL
Kooyonga Creek Tempranillo 2021 opens with inviting aromas of ripe cherry, dried herbs, and a hint of leather that speak to the variety's Spanish heritage translated through South Australian sunshine. On the palate, juicy red plum and blackberry fruit are framed by supple tannins, with earthy undertones of tobacco and a whisper of vanilla from careful oak maturation. The finish is medium-length, clean, and satisfyingly dry with lingering spice.
