Tasting Note
Medium purple-red. Vibrant aromas of cherry (Tempranillo), cola and earth (Monastrell), heritage rose (Grenache), violet and spice (Touriga Nacional) harmonise. A compote of red and dark summer berries is restrained and shaped by the savoury minerality and textured fruit tannins of this layered and complex medium-bodied wine.

Deep ruby colour into a purple rim. Very fragrant on the nose, with a mixed forest berry basket, Chinese five-spice and a touch of nori. A medium-bodied wine that has a youthful fruit line yet several layers of savouries which build complexing interest. The tannins are a little assertive right now but they do give it ample drive to the finish. A great wine at this price and would be excellent with food.
44%/23%/18%/15% tempranillo/touriga nacional/grenache/graciano. A classic Iberian blend, hand and machine-picked. The grenache source, dating to 1947. Red cherry, sassafras, thyme, white pepper and mint. The extraction is gentle, the tannins supple and soft as a consequence. I wouldn’t mind a little more. The choice of largish wood, wise. Mid-weighted, pulpy, eminently drinkable and delicious, if not rather prosaic.
The Bio Project looks to sustainability and regenerative farming practices, another feather in the cap of McLaren Vale's green credentials. This Tempranillo blend comes with Mataro, Grenache and Touriga Nacional in the mix. Cola and rose hip tea, woody spices and lavender floral characters. Pretty, slurpy, juicy, unctuous and round, a rollicking red of deliciousness and a fair bit of complexity to boot.
