94 Pts Oliver & 92 Pts Halliday |
94 Pts Oliver, 92 Pts Halliday: A big savoury wine produced by Clare Valley's Tim Adams.
Tempranillo has long been the backbone of the Spanish red wine industry, being the principal variety of the world renowned wines of Rioja. Tim Adams discovered many years ago that drinking these wines from Rioja could be a wonderful experience and so decided to search for the appropriate site, soil and clone to plant in their vineyard at Watervale. The tempranillo was first planted in 2001 and bore a tiny crop in vintage 2004.
This wine, from the 2005 vintage, has been hand selected from individual barrels before blending, and exhibits the definitive tempranillo characters of strawberry and cherry, in harmony with clove and cinnamon spice derived from 16 months aging in new French oak. The wine is spicy and savoury by Australian standards and is lower in alcohol than most red wines we make.
