Blewitt Springs Tempranillo 2018, Blewitt Springs Wine Co, McLaren Vale. This Blewitt Springs Tempranillo 2018 is a medium‑bodied, savoury Spanish varietal with a distinctly McLaren Vale accent, offering aromas of dark plum, red berries and a touch of leather and tobacco, wrapped in gentle spice and dried herb complexity. On the palate it is juicy yet poised, with bright cherry and plum fruits, subtle earthiness and fine, sandy tannins that make it superbly drinkable now yet capable of a few more years in the cellar. The savoury line and fresh acidity make it a brilliant match for tomato‑based pasta, ragù, lasagne, grilled chorizo and chargrilled lamb, as well as tapas and hard cheeses for weekend entertaining. No major show medals or critic scores are currently listed for this vintage.
