Neil Ellis Wines Amper Bo Tempranillo 2021
100% Tempranillo
Wine of Origin Bottelary, Stellenbosch
Only the third vintage to be offered on the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction, this wine follows the pioneering 2015 Amper Bo Tempranillo – the first 100% Tempranillo ever presented. While Tempranillo is classically medium-bodied, its remarkable tannin structure provides exceptional ageing potential, making it a rare and compelling addition to the Guild’s offering.
Tasting Notes: A subtle nose reflecting dark and red cherries, violets, dried herbs and wet tobacco leading into a leathery finish. The palate is dense and complex with fine-grained tannins, packed with dark berries and plum, which unfolds with great length.
Ready to drink now until 2035.
