West Cape Howe Tempranillo 2022
Couldn't load pickup availability
- TASTING NOTE: Has generous aromas of dark berry fruits with some dark plum and rhubarb characters. This fruitiness is tempered by the dusty oak characters picked up during its maturation period. This is a medium bodied wine with loads of rich, red fruit flavours. Quite tightly structured, it has dark cherry, cranberry and pomegranate characters. As is typical of Frankland Tempranillo, it has good structure; it’s nicely drying with the slightly dusty tannins balancing the fruit flavours and, together with the light acidity, all combine to give the wine its great length of flavour on the palate. Vibrant and youthful, it can be enjoyed now with a well flavoured meal or cellar for a couple more years for further complexity. West Cape Howe

ABOUT THE WINE: All the Tempranillo fruit is from our Russell Road vineyard which lies in the heart of the Frankland River wine growing district. This is a highly regarded, very reliable region especially for most reds. Being further inland from Mt Barker it has warmer days with more sunshine hours which are then balanced by late, cooling sea breezes and quite cool overnight temperatures, resulting in well coloured and well flavoured fruit.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Founded in 1997 and owned by four Western Australian families, West Cape Howe has become one of Western Australia’s favourite wine brands. The Langton vineyard was established in 1978 and has some of the most mature vines in the Great Southern, consistently producing the highest quality fruit. In recent years, West Cape Howe acquired neighbouring vineyards in Mt Barker and has significant vineyard resources in Frankland. With a reliable climate, these vineyards have contributed to the consistent quality of West Cape Howe’s wines.
