Details
Peter Drayton likes to go beyond the Hunter Valley norms with his Anomaly wines, but this Tempranillo just breaks the mould as it uses grapes from Victoria's King Valley. A lovely wine it is, too, with dark berries, blackberry, liquorice and a little leafy edge in a medium-bodied and joyful style.
Peter Drayton Wines is a name that's synonymous with great wine. Nestled in the heart of Hunter Valley, Peter Drayton Wines is a family-owned and operated winery that's been producing quality wines for almost two decades. But what sets Peter Drayton Wines apart from the rest? For starters, their vineyards are located on some of the most fertile soils in Australia, and they only use the finest grapes to produce their wines. But it's not just the quality of their wines that make them stand out, it's their unique and innovative approach to winemaking. From their award-winning Chardonnays and Semillons to their delicious Shiraz and Cabernets, Peter Drayton Wines has something for everyone. But what really sets them apart is their experimental range. The two main ranges are the Anomaly and Wildstreak brands and although you will find classic varieties, it is the evolution to include Vermentino, Barbera and Saperavi amongst others.

Pairing guide
Ooh, we do love a good bottle of Tempranillo here at Good Pair Days. This characterful and deliciously savoury release from Peter Drayton’s impressive repertoire is a delight for the senses, and the ideal red wine for pairing with some seriously tasty homemade food. It’s particularly good with dishes that speak of the wine’s Spanish roots - braised pork cheeks with smoked paprika, chorizo cooked with red wine and beans, mixed paella and proper jamon. Tex-Mex and Mexican flavours, especially chicken fajitas, chilli con carne (or a veggie version) and mole sauces are also brilliant with this one.
