Smallfry Tempranillo Garnacha Joven 2009

Wine drinker's are beginning to realise that early drinking styles of red wine don't have to sacrifice complexity to achieve immediate deliciousness. This example from Smallfry, inspired by wine maker Wayne Ahrens' year long stint in Spain, is a fantastic case in point.
Designed to be enjoyed right now and perfect with food, there is little doubt of the quality apparent in this wine. Its juicy berried and spiced nature make it a joy to drink. - JP

says:Inspired by memories of the joven (young) red wines he has relished in Spain’s tapas bars, winemaker Wayne Ahrens decided that during the 2009 vintage he’d have a crack at making the unwooded, early-release style himself. So he bought a parcel of Barossa-grown tempranillo grapes and blended them with some grenache from his own old vineyard. The result is simply delicious: medium-full red in colour, it is full of juicy fresh berry fruit but finishes dry, snappy and savoury.
