{"product_id":"2024-mayford-tempranillo","title":"2024 Mayford Tempranillo","description":"\u003cp\u003eEleana Anderson and Bryan Nicholson have spent years turning their small Porepunkah vineyard into the premier address for Alpine Valleys Tempranillo. They treat the variety with serious respect, dividing the harvest into ten small batches across five different clones to capture every bit of nuance the site offers. The 2024 vintage gave them near-perfect conditions - warm days and crisp nights that allowed the fruit to ripen evenly and build phenomenal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, Eleana handles each parcel individually, utilising cold soaks, natural ferments, and various levels of whole bunch and extended skin contact. After basket pressing, the wine spent 11 months in French oak with the malolactic lees left intact to build texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe reckon this is the finest Mayford Tempranillo release to date. It is deeply fragrant, packed with black cherry, star anise, brambly rose, and musk, alongside darker, savoury lines of cola, fresh leather, and charred meats. The palate carries real substance and depth, wrapped in a glove of fine, velvety tannins that provide great drive on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Eleana Anderson is one freakishly fantastic winegrower and maker, showing the way with, and the exciting future of, tempranillo in Australia. Few come close... a liveliness of spiciness and cacao wrapped in a savoury edginess and warm vanillin oak. An absolute cracker.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mayford Tempranillo always has flavour and composure but it’s the structure that always seduces me. It wouldn’t be hard to call this release perfect. Certainly the integration of the various components is elite... It’s joyously good, basically. It will age magnificently. And the tannin here checks out beautifully.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Mayford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44133719900203,"sku":"2024 Mayford Tempranillo","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2022MayfordTempranillo_19785c05-b454-4a81-b6f7-5e9a9b15825a.webp?v=1739225349","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-mayford-tempranillo","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
