Nashdale Lane Wines Colour Series Tempranillo 2022 from Orange, NSW is a lighter‑bodied, cool‑climate take on tempranillo, savoury and food‑friendly with that high‑altitude lift from 860–900 metres and rich basalt soils. It’s built to be versatile at the table rather than big and brooding.

In the glass, this Colour Series Tempranillo 2022 shows blood plum, black and sour cherry, blackberry, cedar, clove and tobacco on the nose and palate, with grippy tannins giving a distinct earthy, savoury feel and a dry mouthfeel. Low in acid and lighter in body, it still carries plenty of flavour thanks to hand‑picking, small‑batch ferments, about two weeks on skins and close to 10 months in 50% new French oak puncheons.

Perfect with cured meats, grilled fish, cherry‑tomato dishes, lamb, roast chicken, tomato‑based seafood, hard cheeses or vegetarian plates built on beans, mushrooms and root vegetables, it’s a genuinely flexible red for modern Aussie food. Nashdale Lane Colour Series Tempranillo 2022 is a vegan‑friendly, cool‑climate Orange tempranillo that gives you savoury character, gentle structure and broad appeal in one neat package.
