There is a rustic simplicity here, yet it's generous with arms wide open. From Geographe producer Bakkheia, this organic Tempranillo builds pleasure and interest in equal doses.
From an organically farmed vineyard, it sees twelve months in French oak. Dark cherries, cherry liqueur and dense plums build a profile of delight and depth flanked by baking spices and barbecue rub spices. Add layers of dark chocolate, passata and cured meats along with ripples of earthiness and you have a very neat package. The tannins are tense yet are framed perfectly for meaty dishes - it's just Tempranillo's DNA. Well played.
