Willow Bridge Estate Geographe Solana Tempranillo 2022

Jeff and Vicky Dewar established Willow Bridge Estate after acquiring a spectacular 180ha hillside property in the Ferguson Valley. Under winemaker Kim Horton, many of its wines offer exceptional value for money. This 92pt Great Value Solana Tempranillo has loads of plum and raspberry fruits. A style that exudes vibrancy and complexity. Distinctive generosity of dark berry fruits with mouthwatering tannins which match perfectly to food. Aromatics of rose hip, licorice and black jube, blueberry fruits with dark plums. Powerful, long and lingering, loads of plum and raspberry fruit, spice and minerality, sitting neatly with savoury tannin and licks of vanilla. “A delight here. Bright, fresh, sitting in an almost nouveau zone of frisky, crunchy red berry fruitiness, licks of cola, some sarsaparilla spicy-bitter notes, black pepper and clove highlights. It sits in the palate with vigour and refreshing fruit and spice character captured in a web of silty, fine-grained tannins. It's such a pleasure to drink and so easy to do so too. A chill wouldn't go astray if you're feeling frisky.” (Mike Bennie, The Halliday Wine Companion).
