Our 2024 DUNE Tirari is a vibrant medium bodied red. It is made from touriga, mataro and negroamaro with a dash of grenache (approx 5% grenache with the remaining 95% made up of approx equal parts of the other three varieties).
"40/30/30% negroamaro/mataro/touriga nacional; harvested on the same day and co-fermented; matured in seasoned French oak for six months. Savoury and spicy, with preserved black cherry, dried olive, black plum skin, panforte spicing, chinotto, star anise, umeboshi. Modest of weight, and from varieties that can be fulsome and gruff, this is elegant and food friendly, with a fine line of tannin and a fanning of cherry-scented fruitfulness marking the finish. This is also excellent chilled. Lovely. 94 points"

Notes on the 2021 DUNE Tirari:
"A snowstorm of exotic spices and flower petals opens the curtains for a light-bodied wine that is happy in itself and doesn't need any body-building courtesy of tannins or other extract. 94 points" - James Halliday, Wine Companion
