Tempore Symphony No Added Sulphur Garnacha
£14.90
Taste
Velvety smooth red berries
Aroma
Abundant framboise and summer berries
Description
A limited edition new ‘No Sulphur Added’ organic red from Spain that’s just sensational. From 100% Grenache (Garnacha) grown in the Bajo Aragón region to the west of Catalonia and Barcelona. Tempore (the name of the estate) means time, and this wine is the result of four generations of viticulturists caring for the organic vines, and making wine as naturally as possible, and without sulphur.
Rarely will you taste a wine with as much expressive fruit, on both nose and palate. To say big and vibrant is an understatement, flavours of framboise, strawberry and blackberry are just for starters, this wine keeps giving and its flavours are completely unclouded by sulphur addition. Its juiciness and velvety smooth mouthfeel make this an ideal BBQ or summer picnic wine, which could also be enjoyed lightly chilled. Even if the weather turns out to be cloudy or damp, this wine is guaranteed to shine brightly! As no sulphur is added, this can have a slight spritz on opening, which will dissipate with aeration in the glass.
Being something quite unique, this wine has garnered mixed reviews. We recommend giving it a bit of time to open up as it can be better the next day.

Unusual!
I’m no wine buff but thought it an unusual tasting wine and would not rush back to it.

Average
I would have to agree with Hilguy as this wine is distinctly average. Limited edition is probably for the best.
Wino –
Fruity
Extremely aromatic, fruity smell – almost like fruit juice! The taste was very easy drinking.
Delphi –
Easy drinking
Fruity, easy-drinking. Very pleasant wine to suit all occasions
slimjim –
Excellent
Very good wine. Slightly fizzy when first opened but this went when poured and taste was excellent

Vintage 2018. This had a dull brown unusual taste and no scent. I waited and hoped but it did not improve. It was not corked.

I am adding a note to my review above. I drank more of this wine the following night and finished it on the third night. It was much improved and had a deep, interesting taste and a slight but pleasant scent on both evenings. This can be useful. I will re-rate it as three but very close to four. It would be interesting to try it again and I probably will. I would suggest that it is opened in the morning for evening drinking.
