Mount Brown have long flown the flag for outstanding value wines, with their Grand Reserve range providing some of the best wine experiences you can get for under $50. The Grand Reserve Tempranillo is one of these, produced in miniscule quantities with only 94 dozen bottles being made. It offers wonderful insight into the vintage conditions Waipara experienced in 2015, with the abundance of warmth and long sunny days providing an intensely flavoured and warming red. A very versatile and food friendly wine, New Zealand is quickly proving to be a second home for many Spanish grape varietals, the quality we are producing being consistently outstanding.

Bold ripe plum and blackberry, with hints of earthiness and chocolate with slight wisps of smokiness lingering.

An rich and mouthfilling array of berries, with a touch of jam character to it all. The oak follows through with the elements of chocolate and smoke filling out the midpalate, and the finish is long and generous with a gentle tannin structure holding everything together. A harmonious wine that will pair with most meats and will be very versatile on the dinner table.
