Kyberd Hills El Rubio Tempranillo 2023

The Mornington Peninsula is not known as a homeland for Tempranillo, so I was curious when this slid across the tasting bench from Kyberd Hills - I'm always open-minded. Baked, warm and extracted, this didn't hit the right varietal notes for me.
Soy sauce aromas are prominent on opening. Harsh and abrasive, it was given its chance to rise up once again the following day but to no avail. The teeth stripping acid that was out of whack and indications of brettanomyces didn't make it an ideal experience. This is not for me.
If Tempranillo is what you seek, I'd be happy to recommend others and you'll even get a lobster (Australian slang for a $20 note) to keep in your pocket as well - winning!
