The 2023 Moppity Atrius Tempranillo is a vibrant Hilltops red crafted in a modern, fruit-driven Australian style inspired by youthful Spanish Tempranillo. Sourced from cool-climate vineyards in Southern New South Wales, the wine highlights bright cherry fruit, savoury spice and supple tannins, with careful oak maturation adding depth while preserving freshness and varietal character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity and fine-grained tannins, delivering flavours of dark cherry, plum and red berries layered with cocoa, spice and subtle savoury notes. The texture is smooth and polished, with bright fruit carried through a balanced, juicy finish that remains fresh and approachable.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Tempranillo for customers who enjoy medium-bodied reds with vibrant fruit, savoury spice and approachable structure. The Hilltops climate gives the wine freshness and balance while retaining generous flavour and texture. Drinking beautifully now and best enjoyed over the next 4–6 years. Ideal with grilled lamb, tapas, chargrilled chorizo, wood-fired pizza or slow-cooked beef dishes.
