A change up in packaging for this release. A vinous blend of Tempranillo, Grenache and Graciano. Spends eight months in seasoned French puncheons and Hogshead barrels.
*”The vinous rematch of the 1811 Battle at Barrosa Ridge where Spain fought off attacking French forces. La Conquista! pitches Tempranillo and Graciano on the attack, ruffling feathers amongst the Barossa Old Guard varieties of French descent. The original Spanish spelling of Barrosa honours the original name given to our Barossa Valley by Colonel Light who fought in the 1811 battle.r.”

Chaffey Bros Wine Co, La Conquista!, T.G.G. Barossa, 2022

In the groove with cola and cherry notes, black jelly bean, smoked chicken breast, wine gums, pickled jalapeño chillies and some roast nut earthiness. Mid weight and piquantly spiced. Fly screen mesh tannins and cool plum/raspberry fruit with an anise and clove offset. All the swirls of sweet and savoury and spice. Perfect to carve through a plate of tapa.
