Amphora Tempranillo 2023

$40.00

Whole berries and whole bunches are wild fermented together in clay amphora. This has a lot of sophistication, purity of fruit, concentration, length of flavour and fine tannin profile. Cherry cola, dark plum, fennel, toasty, woody spices, bitter dark chocolate, alpine herbs and green olive all find their way into the descriptors. Superbly balanced, chewy with fine, gravelly tannin, a herbal lift in dark, sweet-sour fruit pitched perfectly, and all of it al dente and fresh. Stellar example of the variety.
