Twin Valleys Tempranillo 2019
- Textured, savoury
- King Valley
The King Valley just seems to be kicking some real goals of late. It’s no longer only a spot for Italian varieties. Twin Valleys has produced a delicious tempranillo that is just juicy fun. A medium-bodied red with brisk acidity and soft tannins, it’s the perfect vino to crack at any moment. As fruity as it is dark, it has a very plummy nose, spiked with cinnamon, Chinese spice, and some tobacco and cedar backup notes. It’s ripe for the drinking now and I reckon it’ll round out in bottle for a couple of years and then you can get to some food and wine matching - if you can wait that long.

Region
King Valley
The region of King Valley is as impressive as its name. With a magnificent vineyard area covering 1,800ha, it represents half of all the plantings in North East Victoria. Celebrated for its innovative varietals, covering all corners of the globe - from Spain, to Germany, France, Russia and more famously Italy, it's this point of difference that has made the area such a revered Aussie wine region. Gentle slopes, warm days and cool nights make it an ideal area to produce Mediterranean varieties such as Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Prosecco amongst many other out-of-the-box wines - talk about La Dolce Vita!
