Rusty Mutt Conejo Joven Tempranillo 2021

 

This Joven Tempranillo has me thinking of chargrilled beef burgers and I'm not talking about HJs or Burger King. There is an unmissable meatiness and char factor ready to unleash itself on you. Winemaker Scott Heinrich suggests taco night is the go. Either way, you win.

Brokenwood Rosato 2021

 

Clever Winemaking 101. Lovers of Rosé will find a happy home with this beauty. It's creamy, savoury and damn right delish.
