The TIRARI is a vibrant medium bodied red. 2020 It is made from Touriga, Mourvèdre, Negroamaro and Grenache with a dash of Montepulciano, with 12 months in seasoned French hogsheads prior to bottling. Bright red fruited lift, white pepper, sweet herbs lift then blue and black fruits, amaro bitter herbs, chinotto like lift. Palate is fine and bright, punchy acid and lovely feathery tannin, lively and fresh with an array of sour red fruits, blue fruits and some amaro bitter notes.

A cool spring with windy conditions led to a delay in bud-burst, but the season then saw record temperatures in late December. This was followed by a mild January/February. Yields were below average in shiraz and cabernet but healthy crops on most other varieties. 2020 whites are showing delicacy in their aromatics, with fresh natural acidity. The 2020 reds are displaying bright red-fruited fragrance with great intensity on the palate. The resulting wines have an even tannin structure giving depth and longevity with an elegance of fruit.
