Description

The warm climate in Swan Valley sees different varieties excel compared to those that have been notably successful down South in Margaret River.

Here, Tempranillo, Touriga and Grenache, from Geographe, Swan Valley and the Frankland River combine forces. Those varieties that do well in warmer climates, such as Spain, are thriving in these warmer parts of WA.

Garth and Kristen believe that if a variety looks great on its own, let it shine. If it looks better with a little help from some friends, then blend it up.

They've nailed the balance here.

94 Points - "In stroll the cool-kid regions: Fruit was sourced from across Margaret River, Geographe, Swan Valley and Frankland River. Epic tension and concentration in the mouth. This is savoury and sweet, with layers of spice (star anise, licorice root, aniseed, black pepper, tobacco leaf), fruit (blackberry, blood plum, raspberry) and flowers (violets, lavender and black rose petals). Another cool release of La Chingadera." - Erin Larkin (Halliday Wine Companion)

91 Points - "Lush, lovely, sloshy red, dark chocolate and ripe, red berries. Generous red but not without freshness and just a little crunch, it’s deep, brooding, inky and broad shouldered but manages brightness nonetheless. Nice smudge of choc-tannins too. Delightful, heftier red." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    2019 Vino Volta La Chingadera Tempranillo Touriga Grenache
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Skilful blend, delicious red

    Lives up to the ‘staff pick’ rap. Strikingly perfumed nose, Touriga to the fore (almost cherry ripe) with the other two varieties lending depth, darker notes. All three varieties merge seamlessly on the palate. Lots of drive, dark ripe fruits, saline notes and polished tannins check the hedonistic flavours. I’m not a fan of Tempranillo but it’s kept in line here. My first Vino Volta wine - impressive.

Plum, rose petal, sage fennel. Medium bodied. Juicy and squishy up front, a lick of oak and savoury tannins to finish.

Fruit was sourced across Donnybrorok, Swan Valley and as far south as Frankland River. An array of winemaking techniques depending on the fruit. Fermented with natural yeast - there was whole bunch, carbonic maceration. All components aged in oak barriques for 14 months.
