The 2021 Charlish & Co ‘Tinto’ Cabernet Sauvignon / Tempranillo, made by Rebecca Stubbs and Duane Coates MW from Langhorne Creek and Adelaide Hills, marries Cabernet’s structure with Tempranillo’s supple charm. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, and earthy spice lead to a medium-bodied palate of dark fruit, cedar, and tobacco. Wild fermentation and minimal intervention highlight purity, with chewy tannins and vibrant acidity delivering balance. A savoury, persistent finish adds gravitas. Awarded 94 points by The Wine Front, it’s a versatile, characterful red – thoughtful in craft and effortlessly food-friendly. A modern Australian blend that speaks with confidence and clarity.
