DOMINIO DEL AGUILA Picaro Tinto Fino , Ribera del Duero

Chris Taylor and his Quattro Mano wines have certainly made their mark on the modern Australian wine scene. Using 'alternate' Mediterranean varieties like this Tempranillo, Taylor handcrafts flavoursome and yet medium to full-bodied wines of utmost character. This Novillo Temp is choc full of dark berries, liquorice and that traditional hint of cola. Simply delectable.

Medium bodied wine with raspberry fruits, cherries and chalky tannins on the finish.

An amazingly successful wine with which this winery shows off its firm foundations. A beautiful intro to the range of Pedrosa.

Marqués De Riscal Tempranillo displays dark cherry, with violet hues. Beautifully fresh nose of black forest fruit, liquorice and toasted nuances brought on by the oak casks. Good balance between fruit and ok on the palate, medium bodied with lovely soft tannins.
