Chaffey Bros La Conquista Barossa Tempranillo Grenache Graciano 2018 750ml

Awarded 90/100 Points - The Wine Front

The Tempranillo comes from two vineyards: one on silty soil set next to the Tanunda golf course, the other in the richer clay and brown earth soils of Nuriootpa. The Grenache is from the famous sandy Vine Vale region and from the foothills at the top of Krondorf Road with up to 70+ years of vine age. It was picked later in February in order to give the ripe juicy fruit needed to flesh out the structure of Tempranillo’s complex and savoury fruit. Finally the Graciano is from recently planted vines in the limestone-rich soils of the northern Eden Valley.

A Rioja inspired red blend and a nod to the 1811 Battle of the Barrosa in Cadíz. Luminous crimson in colour, cherry and cola aromas mingle with hints of chocolate and a nice kick of spice on the palate. Perfect with pizza, it would of course be an epic tapas wine.

Alc: 13.9%
