Tar & Roses Tempranillo 2022 14.% 750ml

Dense, dry and full, this Tempranillo is a delectable blend of blueberries, plums and savoury tannin, with hints of charcoal, coconut, star anise, nutmeg and chocolate around the edges. It’s long and elegant, taking you on a more-ish journey right to the end.

This wine has both a sweet and savoury palate which combined well with the substantial cocoa powder tannins. Raspberries, pomegranates and spice give fruit drive and complexity which sits comfortably on a bed of powdery tannins. A touch of chocolate on the finish rounds out this opulent wine.

Tar & Roses home is in Nagambie Central Victoria and produces wines inspired by classic varietals from the Mediterranean and was named after the signature characteristics of Nebbiolo. The name also ties back to the winemaking team behind the venture, the legendary Don Lewis and his winemaking partner Narelle King. Following the passing of Don in 2017 this represents the final vintage of his great career with Narelle now carrying on the Tar & Roses tradition. Tar & Roses produce one of Australia’s leading Pinot Grigio’s known for its characteristic dusty pink colour. Tar & Roses sources the majority of red fruit from areas across central Victoria such as Heathcote, an ideal region for Italian and Spanish varietals and classic ‘Australian’ Shiraz.
