Winemaking

This 2023 Eden Valley Tempranillo was sourced from our Pewsey Vale vineyard, situated at 550 metres elevation. The fruit was gently destemmed—without crushing—and transferred directly into open-top fermenters. A cold soak at 10–15°C for three days preceded a natural rise in temperature to initiate fermentation. The wine spent eight days on skins with twice-daily pumpovers before being pressed to 100% seasoned French oak hogsheads for six months of maturation. No fining or filtration was applied.

Winemaker's Notes

The Eden Tempranillo is a lighter style of wine, leaning closer to a Pinot Noir than a Shiraz, with more elegant and delicate flavours. The 2023 Impressionist Tempranillo is beautifully lifted, complex and concentrated, yet balanced with stunning savoury flavours and a rich, textural mouthfeel

Food Pairing

Beef lasagna, seafood paella, smoked chorizos.

Vintage Conditions

The 2023 vintage brought about just above-average rainfall, initiating a cool and wet season that led to delayed flowering compared to the usual timing. As the vintage approached, the cool weather persisted, with temperatures lower than average. Consequently, the ripening periods were significantly slower, enabling enhanced fruit development and acid retention within the vineyard. The combination of the colder and wetter season led to low yields but increased concentration, ultimately contributing to the wines' remarkable intensity.
