2023 The Hedonist Tempranillo Organic

Light, bright cherry red, with a lifted bouquet of earthy, truffles with some red berries and cherries. Driven by crunchy acidity and superfine, chalky tannins, which give rise to a stony, savoury and lengthy palate. This wine begs to be enjoyed with a wide array of cuisines.

Viticulture

The fruit for the Hedonist Tempranillo is sourced from our Willunga foothills estate vineyard & an iconic vineyard from Kangarilla’s sandy soils, a relatively cooler site within McLaren Vale. Certified organic/biodynamic

Vinification

Traditionally vinified in open top fermenters with indigenous yeast and minimal additions. Fermented for 12 days. Malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel prior to maturation in older 300L French oak for seven months. Seasoned oak was selected for its minimal oak influence to keep the wine fresh and retain primary fruit characteristics.
