Stratford Vineyard Cellar Reserve Tempranillo 2015
About the wine
Classy award-winning 7-yr-old Tempranillo
Pristine fruit from the estate, new and traditional winemaking techniques and a long sleep in the cellar have resulted in a distinguished 7-year-old Tempranillo with 3 medals to its name.
The first whiff will remind you of toffee apple, rhubarb, cherry and a touch of cake spice. Pour a glass to release blackberry, red cherry spice and raspberry conserve characters with integrated tannins and a lasting finish.
This is a rare affordable chance to get an aged red from a single vineyard estate in a region renowned for producing award winning wines since the 1860’s. Perfect for drinking now - why would you wait?!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Barbara Gallo & Glenn Eberbach
The team at Stratford Vineyard have been successfully making excellent wines for many years. The vineyard has been awarded over 700 awards in the last six years including winery of the year, double gold, gold, silver and bronze medals in Australia and International wine shows.
Chances are, you’ve heard of Stratford Vineyard before - only then they were known by a different name. They first joined Naked’s Stop the Squeeze program with the Lagoon View wines that were caught up in the China tariff crisis. The relationship was intended to be temporary. Then something very special happened.
Both the Stratford team and the Angels adored one another so much, the team decided to be part of Naked exclusively… and permanently. So here they are, using their actual vineyard’s name, with Naked for good! May we introduce vineyard co-owners Barbara and Sam Gallo and their winemaker, Glenn Eberbach - our newest team behind Stratford Vineyard.
