Mayford Tempranillo 2021

"Mayford's hidden valley just keeps turning out top flight tempranillo." Campbell Mattinson

"Winemaker Eleana Anderson is among a handful of leading tempranillo producers in this country forging ahead with the grape."  Jeni Port

"Mayford have over the last decade risen up and are now considered one of the leading producers of tempranillo in the country"  Angus Hughson

“This is a benchmark example of the variety, with enticing, deep, dense purple colour and oodles of ripe bramble and dark black fruit aromas, a rich body and a swath of fine, powdery but supple tannins that flood the mouth.”  Max Allen,  Financial Review Magazine November 2022

“It smells pure, it feels firm, and it finishes long. The balance of this wine is exemplary. What is more, it’s a tempranillo that wants to be a tempranillo, rather than Tempranillo that wants to be shiraz, as so many others do. There’s a sweet herb note attached to a subtle toastiness, fresh cherry notes running to plum, sweet spice as a lead-in to smoked meat-like characters. I love how fresh this feels. I love how ‘grapey’ it is, in the best of ways.” 93 Points Campbell Mattinson, Winefront
