From a single vineyard on the Southern reaches of One Tree Hill, just out of greater Adelaide and sitting at the edges of the North West corner of the Adelaide Hills and the South West corner of the Barossa. This region fits into the Mount Lofty Ranges GI. Wine making sees basket pressing before being put into  in new and old oak hogsheads to undergo malolactic fermentation and maturation for 12 months.

Tenafeate Creek, Tempranillo, Mt Lofty Ranges, 2023

Deep garnet to bruise purple. Cherry fruit with violet florals, warm baking spices, blackcurrant pastille, choc orange squares and savoury shiny black olives. Bright and relatively juicy. Shiny red crystalline fruit with soft tannin shadowed with tobacco and baking spices. A little up front and forward with a medium length herby finish.
