Deep fruit, brambly palate, balanced, fine tannins
Book Book Estate is a neighbouring property to the Retief family’s vineyard in the Gundagai region of NSW, approximately 30 kms south-east of Wagga Wagga. With its deep rich soils and cool dry climate, the area is perfect fro growing big reds, such as Shiraz and Tempranillo.
The 2015 Tempranillo has a nose of red fruits spice and brambles and the palate is soft yet full. Hints of jam and dark berries with a beautiful balance of oak, fruit and acid with the typical pinch of all spice giving the length at the back of the palate. Technically a Crianza style having been matured for 18 months in oak, it is balanced without big drying tannins.
Price: $40 per bottle
