Wakefield Estate
Tempranillo 2011
| Region: | South Australia |
Medium-bodied with seductive flavours of cherries, dark plums and berry fruits. French oak maturation provides subtle spice characters.
At release the wine is a ruby red with a vibrant purple hue.
Wine Bouquet
The wine displays maraschino cherry fruit characteristics with hints of vanilla bean and underlying subtle cigar box and spicy oak aromas.
Wine Palate
This is a medium-bodied wine with flavours of cherry, plums and subtle raspberry along with well integrated savoury French oak. There is a pleasing soft and silky texture to the mid palate and the wine has a long, persistent finish.
Cellaring Notes
This wine can be enjoyed upon release but will reward careful cellaring up to and possibly beyond 2016.
