About the wine
The hand-crafted foodies dream!
- The Queensland boys are back! After a sellout last year, they deliver the next vintage of their luscious Tempranillo. This wine is sourced from Glen and Andrew's own organically managed vineyards as well as a neighbouring vineyard just up the road in the cool climate hills of Ballandean.
- This incredible red is all about pure, fresh red and black fruits. The cool climate characteristics make it juicy and moreish, showing off time in French and American oak and soft, velvety tannins.
- A little lighter and brighter than some Australian Tempranillos, this is a classic example of the style that is made and drunk all over Spain. A true Queensland dream made in tiny quantities, don't miss your share - pop it in your basket today!
Best before
While Joven Tempranillo is intended for immediate consumption, a measured approach to maturation may enhance its profile. The transition from primary fruit notes to secondary characteristics, particularly oak influences becoming more dominant with age, is contingent upon personal preferences. This wine invites enthusiasts to experiment with multiple bottles at various stages of maturation, offering insights into the evolution of its flavours.
Serving advice
Prior to drinking, we recommend decanting the wine and allowing it to breath for a few minutes. Serve at a temperature of 17 degrees Celcius, the ideal European cellar temperature, to maximize its expression.
Food match
When drinking this wine, I like to imagine I'm in Andalusia and eating "gambas al aijillo", prawns sauteed with garlic and chillies.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Glen Robert & Andrew Scott
- Expected the unexpected from this creative Queensland pair! When Glen and Andrew stumbled upon Shiraz and Viognier vines in need of a little TLC in 2014, they knew they had found the perfect place to begin their La Petite Mort journey.
- Thanks to Angel support, Glen (former research scientist) and Andrew (hospitality guru) have been able to re-vitalise a historic, cool-climate vineyard in the Granite Belt, flexing their sustainable winemaking skills with slow-ripening, hand-picked fruit that packs a flavourful punch!
- From fermenting in terracotta amphora to partially drying grapes, the innovative techniques behind the hidden gems in the La Petite Mort range represent the idea of letting go of restraints and revelling in something new… like Glen and Andrew’s truly artisan wines!
