Chalk Hill Tempranillo Grenache 2024, McLaren Vale

Chalk Hill Tempranillo Grenache 2024, McLaren Vale

I hear you ask: why blend Tempranillo and Grenache? Well, why not?

This is the most popular wine at the Chalk Hill Cellar Door, and I can see why (and that’s a must see and do bucket list item).

Deep ruby-crimson with youthful purple hues. Ripe red cherry, raspberry and blackberry lead the way, with violets, dried herbs and gentle spice adding lift.

The palate is medium-bodied and vibrant, combining Tempranillo’s savoury cherry character and structure with Grenache’s generous red fruit and supple texture. Super fine-grained tannins give the wine finesse, while a light green-bean note and fresh acidity keep everything lively and energetic.

Vino Masters Score: 94/100 ★★★★★
A vibrant, silky and highly drinkable McLaren Vale red blend.
