Details
Very much inspired by the joyous style of juicy, lightly oaked Tempranillo that northern Spain is famous for, this medium-bodied and super approachable Margaret River red has beautiful red cherry fruit, a little dried herbs, and then some lovely crunch and freshness.

Cath Oates was born and grew up in Margaret River, so you might say wine was in her blood. But after finishing her winemaking degree, Cath left to chase wine in New Zealand, the US and Italy (among others), filling out fifteen years around the planet. Yet the pull of 'Margs' was strong, and she came back home to make wines from her brother's established vineyard at Wilyabrup in the heart of the region and start Oates Ends. With such a global view, it's little wonder that these wines cut different. From the vibrant Spanish feel of Cath's Tempranillo to the seriously grand tannins of her Cabernet Sauvignon, they feel a bit special. There's also a delicious white wine called the GWB, which comes with a grim history - you see, Cath is one of the few winemakers on the planet who has survived a Great White shark attack!

Pairing guide
Tempranillo is a fantastic red wine for pairing with food. It contains all of that deep, spicy complexity we expect from Spanish wine, while being medium-bodied and comfortably versatile with dishes that extend beyond the Iberian peninsula. This Aussie version has some lovely cherry fruit too, which only adds to the appeal. While there might be no better match (or indeed, no better meal) than Tempranillo with a massive platter of roasted vegetables, Manchego cheese and Serrano ham, it does very well alongside Italian dishes with a strong tomato hit, like lasagna and pizza, and Mexican dishes such as tacos and burritos.
