As a product and industry expert, I can confidently say that the Rutherglen Estate Tempranillo 2022 carries a rich, deep colour and vibrant red hues. This wine boasts of a berry fruit flavour that is accompanied by a cherry compote finish and mouth-filling tannins. The notes of crushed red fruits, combined with subtle hints of tobacco and integrated oak, make for a truly exquisite experience.

Winery & Vintage Info
2022 was a slightly cooler than average year but without any extreme heat. With higher than average rainfall the vines grew well in Rutherglen. Due to regular rainfall events and a mild summer it was a stressful but ultimately rewarding year in Rutherglen for our white wines and more savoury reds.
The fruit is grown on the De Bortoli Tuileries and Melville’s vineyards. The Tuileries block was planted to Tempranillo in 2013. This block adjoins the accommodation which is onsite at the De Bortoli Tuileries complex. It is on the western edge of the Rutherglen township and has some interesting gravel, clay and alluvial soil mix. The Melvilles vineyard is on the eastern edge of the Rutherglen region. The vine rows run North South and the block is west facing and produces Tempranillo with a balanced intensity and varietal definition.
The 2022 Tempranillo was partially crushed into small, temperature controlled vats and an open vat fermenter. The wine was pumped with careful cap management during fermentation to extract the fantastic colour and flavour without over extracting the tannins. The fruit is cold soaked prior to alcoholic fermentation to keep a bright and vibrant fruit profile. The wine is aged in older French and American oak to give some softness and roundness on the palate without dominating the wine.
