Hungerford Hill Hilltops Range Tempranillo Graciano 2023 arbois It doesn’t seem too earlyGraciano is the red grape that famously gives Tempranillo a bit of oomph in its Spanish homeland. We're not in Spain here, with Bryan Currie instead using grapes sourced from the Hilltops (home of NSW's best cherries, FYI) to turn out a superstar Tempranillo Graciano blend that has all the medium bodied milk chocolate and earthy dark fruit and all smooth edges. Dripping in trophies and gold medals, this is such a charmer.
