Why Permiado?
Tempranillo loves McLaren Vale, as we do, and after you try this wine, you will too! A treasure chest of flavours capture you on your first taste, taking you deep into the darkness of ripe cherries, exotic spice and refinement. The Spanish applaud wines this good and proudly proclaim them to be. 'Premiado'. With this in mind. we believe they would also salute our success with their 'treasured' grape.
