Shingleback Vineyard Selection Tempranillo Touriga 2021 Tasting Note.pdf

This wine was fermented in an open
fermenter at a warmer temperature to
extract the savoury tannins of
tempranillo. It was then cooled to
retain the violet and herbal aromas
which is characteristic of this variety.
This wine was only aged in 3-6yr old
oak and only for 9 months to preserve
the fresh fruit flavours and balance of
the wine.

A warm start to the vintage period but a long
cool period over most of summer and autumn
lead to excellent flavour maturity balance
perfectly with sugar ripeness. Enhanced
natural acidity allowed for great colour
retention and depth.

Shingleback Vineyard Selection wines capture the genuine and enduring character
of the McLaren Vale region in South Australia .Our Vineyard Selection Tempranillo
Touriga is crafted from select parcels of grapes grown in our Shingleback Estate
Vineyard. This wine is a perfect blend of the two grape varietals.
