J Fawkner Review – The Age
Based in the Heart of Porepunkah, winemaker Eleana Anderson produces a teeny amount of wine – around 500 cases, including some terrific shiraz and chardonnay. But her tempranillo is standout. It’s a dense plush wine, full-bodied and quite opulent with rich savoury nuances, sweet leather and exotic spice, liquorice and a hint of menthol. Fleshy on the palate with ripe sweet tannins offset by cleansing acidity on the finish. Will need decanting and a Moroccan-spiced roast leg of lamb as its dining partner. Available Europa Cellars, East Melbourne.
