Inspired by the colourful laneways of Spain... bold, rich and fully charged.
This wine is ready to enjoy now but has cellaring potential for up to 2-3 years.

"It's a tasty drop that is part of De Bortoli's Winter Warmers range and its spicy Shiraz and savoury Tempranillo fruit make it a very <br />good accompaniment to tapas."

"Touch of the Spanish here in variety and direction. Oh, those little bars down the lane in Spain. Shiraz and Tempranillo make a super combination. It’s medium-bodied with a smooth seamless palate showing silky fine tannins and nice savoury, slightly raspberry cherry fruit flavours. Excellent with a range of Mediterranean dishes." <b>- 90/100</b>

Some sweetness lingers although the fruit is a little dilute. A warm rush courtesy of the spice rolls in late and clings on for a long finish." - <b>87 points</b></span>

The two work so well together and this is no exception; there's a resiny quality about it, with vanilla cola characters, raspberry and spice. An interesting savoury finish too."</span>

It's a no-brainer with stews and pizza, and packs an impressive punch for this price"</span>

<p>"Tempranillo is often blended with grenache in Spain and shiraz-tempranillo blends appear to have a bright future in Australia. This is fresh and tasty, with fleshy cherry cola, raspberry and spice flavours. It's structure is spot-on. It tastes best with a light chill, just like they do in Spain." - <b>90 Points</b></p>

"Resiny, gummy vanillin characters add weight and texture to raspberried, black cherried fruit. It’s no great shakes but it feels and drinks well; it slips down easily, maintains decent shape, and has a general more-ishness. Most red wine drinkers would be happy guzzling/sipping at this."
