Tscharke 'The Master' Montepulciano 2022
Vintage Character
Tscharke 'The Master' Montepulciano 2022 draws on a Barossa season with generous winter rainfall followed by a relatively mild summer. Damp, windy spring conditions affected fruit set in parts of the region, but the absence of extreme summer heat gave surviving fruit time to develop. Cooler February conditions and late-summer rain helped the final stages of ripening. The year provides a useful setting for a wine that combines ripe flavour with naturally fresh acidity. For this late-ripening Italian variety, the estate waited until 16 April to hand-pick its Stone Well fruit.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Cherry, dark currants and red plum meet savoury spice on the nose. The medium-bodied palate delivers juicy red fruit with a subtle oak background, then moves towards black olive and herbs as firm tannins shape the finish. It is direct and textural, carrying plenty of flavour without needing a massive body. The acidity keeps the darker notes alert and makes the wine especially useful with food. Slow-cooked beef ragù with pappardelle matches its savoury depth, while grilled lamb with rosemary connects with the herbal finish. Both provide enough substance to soften the tannic impression.
Winery Background
Tscharke's six-generation farming history is rooted in the Barossa, and the estate now works organically and biodynamically with soil health as a central priority. Its Stone Well Montepulciano block was planted in 2001, reflecting an early commitment to the variety in Australia. The fruit is gently worked during cool fermentation, with limited whole bunches included. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tank before nine months in French oak hogsheads. This measured extraction and maturation give the wine structure while protecting its fragrance.
