Vibrant | Plush | Effortlessly Drinkable

Tempranillo may still be considered an emerging varietal in Australia, but wines like this show exactly why plantings have exploded since the first vines went in back in 1994. Today, Australia is home to around 10 percent of the world’s Tempranillo vineyards, and Millbrook’s 2023 release embraces everything that makes this grape so exciting: expressive fruit, medium-bodied charm, and incredible drinkability.

Winemaker Emma Gillespie takes a hands-off approach, allowing the vineyard to shine. With a focus on purity, freshness and minimal extraction, she has crafted a juicy, beautifully balanced Tempranillo that is impossible to put down. This is the perfect wine for tapas nights, pizza, slow-cooked dishes or simple weeknight meals.

Why you will love it

  • A delicious, expressive alternative varietal with huge momentum in Australia
  • Crafted with a gentle, hands-off winemaking style for purity and fruit focus
  • Medium-bodied, plush, juicy and incredibly food-friendly
  • Seasoned oak for subtle structure without overpowering the fruit
  • A 95-point stunner, offering exceptional value

Critical Acclaim

95 Points – Ray Jordan

“It’s hard to imagine a better current-drinking and delicious Tempranillo than this Geographe-sourced example. Loaded with liqueur cherry and dark plum, aromatic with perfumed exotic fruits. The palate captures the juicy plushness of the variety with a little spicy lift. Highly energised fruit and delicious drinking.”

Tasting Notes

  • Colour: Vibrant ruby with youthful brightness.
  • Aromatics: Dark forest fruits, ripe plum and subtle spice wrapped in violet florals.
  • Palate: Medium-bodied and packed with classic varietal characters of bramble berries, nutmeg and juicy red fruits. Plush, succulent tannins stretch the flavours long across the palate, giving a silky yet energetic finish.
  • Finish: Fresh, lifted and deliciously moreish.
