Varietal focus: Tempranillo

Halliday Wine Companion 'By the Glass' EP 15: Daniel Tokar, Tokar Estate , Yarra Valley Today we are talking all things Tempranillo! There's no denying it's the signature wine grape of Spain, and a very very old one at that…dating back to 1100 BC. There are about 500 clones of Tempranillo in Spain alone, and it is not only one of the world's most planted grape varieties, it's one of the most expanded varieties globally. Meaning it's on the increase. Daniel Tokar, from Tokar Estate in Victoria's Yarra Valley has been surrounded by this variety since his parents established the winery in 1995. A chef by trade, Daniel provides an interesting perspective on this very old and much loved variety. Please welcome, Dan. Any thoughts or suggestions for upcoming episodes?
