Description

Down The Rabbit Hole Organic Tempranillo 2025 is an expressive red wine from McLaren Vale, South Australia, showcasing the vibrant character of this celebrated Spanish grape variety. Grown organically beside the winery, the vines were planted in 2008 and produce fruit with depth, freshness and regional character. Traditional open-top fermentation with wild yeasts, followed by nine months of maturation in seasoned French oak barrels, creates a beautifully layered wine with ripe cherry, plum, dark berries, savoury spice and earthy complexity. Supple in texture with fine tannins, it offers an elegant balance of sweet fruit and savoury flavours.
