The 'Chorus' Tempranillo Grenache Graciano by Chateau Tanunda is a masterful tribute to Mediterranean-style blending in the warm, sun-drenched soils of South Australia. Drawing inspiration from the classic blends of Rioja, this wine represents a harmonious performance where each grape variety plays a vital role: Tempranillo provides a savory, structured backbone of dark cherry and dusty tannins; Grenache contributes luscious, fleshy red berry fruit and a warm, inviting mid-palate; while Graciano acts as the conductor, injecting vibrant acidity, deep color, and aromatic spice. Crafted using traditional open fermenters, this wine showcases Chateau Tanunda's ability to innovate beyond traditional Shiraz, proving that South Australia's ancient soils are spectacularly suited to these drought-tolerant, expressive Iberian varieties.
