Tokar Estate Yarra Valley Tempranillo 2021

Grape Varietals & Region:100% Tempranillo from Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia. Planted in 1999, Tokar Estate has some of the oldest Tempranillo in the Yarra Valley.

Taste Profile: Vibrant and youthful in appearance. Sweet aromas of boysenberry and red liquorice leap from the glass before a sweetly fruited palate. Blood orange and cherries spiced with caraway seed. Soft and round but structured with tangy acidity and a gentle grip. Delicious drinking now.

Winemaking Process: The grapes were fermented as three small ferments, all with wild yeasts followed by a long soaking on skins for up to 35 days to gently extract tannin. Once pressed, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels (mostly 500L puncheons) for wild malolactic fermentation and ten months maturation in our cellar. The wine was bottled whilst still bright and fresh.
