The 2019 Nashdale Lane Legacy Tempranillo, crafted by Nick & Tanya Segger in Orange, New South Wales, is a rare and refined showcase of the variety’s potential in cool-climate elevation. Aromas of dried cherry, leather, tobacco leaf, cedar and Mediterranean herbs lead into a palate layered with dark berry, orange zest and savory spice. Firm acidity and structured, fine-grained tannins add backbone and age-worthiness, while a chalky mineral seam brings clarity and balance. Medium-bodied and beautifully resolved, it finishes long with savoury persistence. Though formal scores are not published, this stand-out release is highly admired for its precision, elegance and food-friendly depth.
