90% Tempranillo and 10% Pinot Noir. Raised in seasoned oak, this blend is the result of Tom feeling the Tempranillo lacked mid palate weight, as well as a cheeky nod to the Hunter Valley’s historic Pinot/Shiraz blends.

Fresh and lithe, a lovely bistro/tapas wine or high class BBQ red.

“Of the Hashtag series, the #003 Amber is probably my favourite, but the whole range is tasty and of good value. Under #006 hides Tempinot, you guessed it, Tempranillo and around 10% Pinot Noir because why not. I find it a bit challenging to discover great examples of Tempranillo out there. It seems Pinot gives a helping hand here.
