The 2023 Oates Ends Tempranillo is a vibrant Margaret River red crafted from 100% Tempranillo grown at the sustainably farmed Wilagri Vineyard in Wilyabrup. This modern Australian interpretation of the Spanish variety highlights freshness and purity, opening with lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, complemented by hints of dried herbs and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with juicy red berry fruit, lively natural acidity and fine, chalky tannins that create an elegant, savoury structure. Flavours of ripe cherry, plum and warm strawberry are balanced by gentle spice and a smooth, persistent finish that remains fresh and food-friendly. Approachable on release, the wine will continue to drink beautifully over the next 5–7 years.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy fresh, medium-bodied Tempranillo with bright fruit and refined structure. Pair it with grilled chorizo, lamb cutlets, tomato-based pasta, wood-fired pizza or chargrilled vegetables. Best served slightly below room temperature after a short decant, with rewarding drinking now or over the next 5–7 years.
