Australian Vintage releases McGuigan Torode Tempranillo
Neil McGuigan and MasterChef judge John Torode have joined forces once again to launch the first red in their collaboration series.
Made with fruit from the Adelaide Hills, the McGuigan Torode Tempranillo offers a “complex blend of vibrant forest fruits on the nose with underlying notes of dried herbs and mocha”, while the palate “exudes berry flavours with a savoury earthiness and subtle spice”.
The third in the McGuigan Torode series, the Tempranillo follows the McGuigan Torode Rosé and Semillon, launched in 2016 and 2014 respectively.
“A growing appetite for Tempranillo in the UK was our inspiration, so we explored every corner of the Adelaide Hills before finding the fruit to make our own version of this delicious variety,” said McGuigan.
“Bright and approachable, we’re confident this wine fits with our shared ambition to create top quality, food-friendly wines that anyone can enjoy.”
The wine will be available from Amazon from 14 May with an RRP of £9.99.
McGuigan Wines is also set to launch three sparkling wines into its Black Label range, which will be available to buy at UK supermarket Sainsbury’s from 27 May.
Made with carefully selected grapes, the new Black Label Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir is full of “fresh tropical-fruit flavours”, with a “wonderful creamy texture and clean, crisp and lengthy finish”.
The classic blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir results in complexity and depth, while maintaining fruit flavour.
The Black Label Sparkling Rosé is a “vibrant, fruity wine with refreshing strawberry flavours and floral blossom notes”. Its sparkling Shiraz, meanwhile, offers “dark-berry flavours of blackcurrant and plum, and a touch of spicy oak and chocolate”.
“Our Black Label range is renowned for its great quality and fantastic value, and has always proved hugely popular with UK consumers,” said chief winemaker Neil McGuigan.
“The past year has seen a huge increase in appetite for sparkling wines of all varieties, and we’re confident that these Australian bubbles will offer something fresh and new for UK consumers.”
Each bottle will carry an RRP of £10.
