2022 Las Piedras Tempranillo

Spanish for ‘the stones’, Las Piedras Tempranillo was handpicked from 52 Stones Vineyard, Ferguson Valley in Geographe. There is a juiciness about this fruit that lends itself to the Spanish Crianza wine style. Whole berries were fermented in open vats with the influence of wild yeast and hand plunging. Gently pressed, the wine was matured in seasoned French oak barriques for nine months, which were topped with stones to keep them full.  A vibrant, beautifully fruited wine with supple distinct texture and fine tannins. Bottled January 2023.

94 Points – HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION, by Jane Faulkner

“This is on song with its dark cherries and cola, kirsch and boot polish, wafts of warm bitumen, joss sticks and florals, and while there’s plenty of juicy fruit in the mix, there’s a savoury buffer with firm yet fine, gravelly tannins.”
