"A juicy, generous and seriously easy-drinking Tempranillo with plenty of ripe dark fruit and plenty of personality. Expect blackberry, ripe plum and dark cherry, backed by subtle spice and a touch of savoury character. The palate is smooth and generous, with soft tannins, good freshness and a lingering fruit-driven finish."

The Elephant in the Room wines are proudly large in scale and expansive in flavour. Ignoring fashion and braving the scorn “wine thought police” Elephant in the Room was created to give consumers exactly what they want – full bodied and mouth-filling wines that deliver maximum pleasure. Each wine is sourced from slow-ripening cool climate vineyards in the Limestone Coast of South Australia and partially matured in French Oak before final blending and bottling by Corey Ryan. 

What a cracking debut for the Elephant family. A wonderfully aromatic and fragrant example of Australian Tempranillo that is juicy, soft and supple. It has vibrant aromas of red fruits with hints of textbook cola, anise and raspberry jam. As befitting Tempranillo, it has soft, supple tannins and low acid so it’s remarkably food friendly and delivers a mouthful of delicious vital fruit, a great depth of flavour and a satisfying finish. Try it with chargrilled Chorizo or an antipasto plate with Manchego and olives.
