Part of the Hill-Smith Family Estates stable and usually found a lot cheaper than the RRP (which is just made for the quality). Made by Sam Wigan.  Vegan friendly if that’s your thing.

Earthworks, Tempranillo, South Australia, 2022

Deep crimson to garnet. Plush and cuddly, soft cinnamon spice and plenty of gooey berries: blue to black with a savoury cherry edge, milk chocolate, a touch of meaty jus and rosemary herbals. Smooth, jubey, fleshy and flowing with plenty of spice, cherry and that chocolate which lingers well. Short finish with a little drying tannin, but still well balanced. Plenty to enjoy.

RRP: $20
Alc: 14.5%
