Main & Cherry Tempranillo 2023 by Main & Cherry, Adelaide Hills, is a bright, mid‑weight red that feels made for tapas – juicy dark fruit, spice and a fresh, leafy edge in a super drinkable frame. This Main & Cherry Tempranillo 2023 brings a distinctly cool‑climate twist to a classic Iberian variety.

In the glass, Tempranillo 2023 shows black cherry, plum and blackberry, with a lift of redcurrant, cola and dried herbs, plus hints of cocoa, clove and a gentle earthy, savoury undertone. It’s dry and medium‑bodied, with lively acidity and fine, chalky tannins giving a pleasant grip, while the juicy core of fruit keeps everything vibrant, supple and moreish.

Food‑wise, it’s a natural with chorizo, grilled lamb skewers, patatas bravas and chargrilled veg, as well as pizza, burgers and smoky barbecue plates. It’s a cracking mid‑week red for share‑plate dining or casual nights in, offering plenty of flavour and structure without ever feeling heavy in the glass.
