2024 Luna Temprana Tempranillo

This Tempranillo has a bright ruby red colour with purple hues and enticing aromas of raspberry, satsuma plum and cherry cola. A vibrant and aromatic style, with flavours of red cherry, olive flesh and fresh red berry fruits. Our Luna Temprana is filled with soft fleshy fruit on the palate, closing beautifully with savoury textural tannin influence.

Tempranillo is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, complimenting spice influenced dishes as well as chicken or pork salads, and vegetarian curries.

Since planting Tempranillo at Gemtree in 1999 we have been experimenting with making different styles to showcase the region and our biodynamic philosophy. Luna Temprana is a fresh and fruity joven style of Tempranillo. We take a hands-off approach to winemaking, allowing the flavours developed in the vineyard to shine. The Tempranillo grapes are hand-picked, cooled and left to ferment on skins for seven days. The grapes are lightly pressed, and using the free run juice only, fermentation was held at 20 degrees to retain all the varietal definition we tasted in the vineyard.
