With a deep crimson purple hue, this medium bodied tempranillo reveals a striking intensity of dark berries, accompanied by spicy nuances and hints of forest floor, seamlessly supported by subtle oak undertones. The wine is effortlessly mouth-filling marrying a velvety savouriness with well-balanced acidity and complex tannins, resulting in a chewy, dusty, and gently drying mouthfeel.

A superb choice for pairing with food, this wine is poised to evolve and gain further complexity with extended time in the bottle.

The tempranillo grape varietal originates in Spain and is the dominant variety used in wines from the Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. It is also a major blending grape used in the production of Port (and called Tinta Roriz in Portuguese).

Although not widely cultivated in Western Australia, tempranillo thrives in cooler climate sites, leading to tightly packed bunches that retain a balanced tannin structure and acidity during ripening. The result is a medium bodied, food friendly style.

The fruit was picked in pristine conditions in mid-April 2023. The grapes were crushed into a small fermenter before undergoing an extended and gentle maceration. Sixty percent of the wine was matured in single use French oak barriques for seven months. The balance went to two-year old barriques for the same period, before the wine was blended and prepared for bottling.

About Singlefile Wines

Singlefile’s dedication to making exceptional wines is paralleled by its commitment to the Great Southern region. It’s as large as it is diverse. Its geography is a patchwork of coastal maritime land, gently undulating hills, open grazing country, eucalypt forests and granite outcrops. A true liquorice all-sorts of land girt by sea. And this variety is what makes the Great Southern so convincing as a supreme winemaking region.

Singlefile Wines was co-founded in 2007 by geologists Phil and Viv Snowden, along with their daughter Pam and son-in-law Patrick Corbett. They all had successful careers prior to the establishment of Singlefile, but their pathways became inextricably woven together thanks to their shared love of wine. Patrick and Pam lived in Italy as a young couple, which crystallised their appreciation for exceptional wines. Reuniting with Phil and Viv over summer holidays gave the family an opportunity to discover Old World wine regions together, planting the seed for creating their own winery.

Quality always comes first and this outcome has been achieved by a minimal intervention approach in both the vineyard and the winery. Singlefile wines are made as naturally as possible, allowing the nuances of the environment to shine through in the final product.
