Tasting Notes
Tasting notes
With rich purple hues in colour, yielding to a structured palate framed by dark fruits, black cherry, blackberry and hints of leather. Think black jelly bean without the confectionary note. Well-structured tannins and a generous yet firm mid-palate round out this Tempranillo.
Vineyard
The site
Hudson Vineyard, Hilltops, NSW. The vineyard site sits at 560m altitude, located just south-west from the township of Young. The cool climate region provides warm days and cool nights during the ripening period, which helps retain natural acids in the wine.
