Risky Business Tempranillo 2021

Q: What makes this wine special?

It won the trophy for Best Tempranillo in Show at the 2022 Winewise Small Vigneron Awards, which is a strong result for a lesser-known variety in Australia.

Black cherry | Plum | Savoury spice |

The Risky Business Tempranillo of 2021 is a trophy-winning Frankland River red with all the things that make Tempranillo so easy to love: juicy dark fruit, savoury spice, smooth tannins and a dry, food-friendly finish.

This is not a heavy, overworked red, in fact It sits in that very useful light to medium-bodied space, with ripe red berries, black cherry, plum and red currant, backed by hints of dried herbs, spice, tobacco and subtle oak. The texture is one of the highlights: soft, velvety and smooth, with enough savoury grip to make it brilliant with food.

Awarded Best Tempranillo in Show at the 2022 Winewise Small Vigneron Awards, this is a terrific choice if you enjoy Spanish-style reds, juicy medium-bodied wines, or want something a little different from Shiraz and Cabernet.

Serving and Cellaring

Serve: 15 to 17°C

If the bottle has been sitting at warm room temperature, give it 15 minutes in the fridge before serving. A slight cool edge helps the fruit and spice feel fresher.

Decant: Not essential, but 20 to 30 minutes in a decanter or a large glass will help the savoury spice and fruit open up.

Cellar: Drinking beautifully now. Enjoy over the next few years while the fruit is still generous and the texture remains smooth.

Grilled lamb chops with rosemary
Chorizo, salami or charcuterie
Woodfired pizza with mushrooms, olives or spicy sausage
Tomato-based pasta or ragu
Beef stew or slow-cooked brisket

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended
