Campbells Tempranillo 2021 from Rutherglen is a vibrant, medium‑bodied red bursting with red cherry, mulberry and plump blackberry, wrapped in gentle spice and that warm, inland Victorian feel that suits the variety down to the ground. This Campbells 2021 Tempranillo is smooth and juicy up front, with fresh cherry fruit leading into crisp acidity and fine, chalky tannins that give it shape without making it heavy.

On the table it’s a ripper with paella, grilled lamb cutlets, roast beef with saffron potatoes or barbecued snags, where that mix of bright fruit and savoury structure really earns its keep. It’s also a handy match for pizza, tapas and hard cheeses, making it a versatile mid‑week and weekend red alike.

Campbells Tempranillo 2021 is part of the limited‑release range, showing how well this Spanish grape thrives in Rutherglen’s continental climate – aromatic, food‑friendly and ready to drink now, but with enough backbone to reward a few years in the cellar.
