2024 Wangolina Tempranillo

The 2024 Wangolina Tempranillo is a vibrant cool-climate expression of Spain's iconic grape, grown in South Australia's Limestone Coast. Crafted in a fresh, fruit-driven style, it showcases Wangolina's passion for alternative varieties that flourish in the region's maritime climate. The nose is lifted with aromas of ripe cherry, plum and blackberry, complemented by hints of dried herbs, sweet spice, vanilla and a touch of earthy savouriness.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins and bright natural acidity. Flavours of red cherry, dark plum and blackberries are layered with subtle notes of liquorice, spice and cocoa, leading to a smooth, balanced finish with impressive freshness and gentle savoury complexity. Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit or cellar for the next 4–6 years as it develops additional depth.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking to explore a modern Australian Tempranillo with plenty of character and versatility. Pair it with grilled lamb, chargrilled pork, tapas, roast vegetables or Manchego cheese. Decant for around 20 minutes before serving to bring out its bright fruit and savoury spice.
