2023 Tempest Red Blend

Born from the unpredictable sub-tropical climate of Paroa Bay, Tempest embodies adaptability in both vineyard and winery. Crafted during the challenging 2023 season, this red blend serves as the alter ego to our beloved Compass.  
After 12 months in aged oak barriques, this wine presents a light red earth colour, with bright aromas of raspberry and orange, followed by complex notes of five spice, open fire, and white pepper. The palate is featherlight with soft acidity and plush tannins, making it a versatile and satisfying early-drinking wine—perfect for any occasion.  
Paul’s recommendation: Enjoy this red served slightly chilled for a refreshing change.
