About the wine
The hand-crafted foodies dream!
- The Queensland boys are back! After a sellout last year, they deliver the next vintage of their luscious Tempranillo. This wine is sourced from Glen and Andrew's own organically managed vineyards as well as a neighbouring vineyard just up the road in the cool climate hills of Ballandean.
- This incredible red is all about pure, fresh red and black fruits. The cool climate characteristics make it juicy and moreish, showing off time in French and American oak and soft, velvety tannins.
- A little lighter and brighter than some Australian Tempranillos, this is a classic example of the style that is made and drunk all over Spain. A true Queensland dream made in tiny quantities, don't miss your share - pop it in your basket today!
Best before
Although it's ready to enjoy now, there is plenty of fruit, acidity and tannin in the wine to create the potential for ageing well into the 2020's. Top tip from the boys is buy a few and see if you can resist drinking them long enough to watch this wine develop in the bottle!
Serving advice
Enjoy straight from the cellar or give it 20 minutes in the fridge if it's at room temperature, especially in summer. Decant at least 30 minutes to allow the wine to open up, you'll notice the difference...
Food match
Any red meat will go just fine and it's light enough to enjoy with some darker poultry as well. Did someone say turkey and cranberry sauce on Christmas day?! In Spain, this is tapas wine so it also loves a bit of spicy chorizo or chilli prawns.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Glen Robert
- Expect the unexpected from Glen Robert at La Petite Mort. A former medical research chemist, Glen fell under wine’s spell around 2000 – and never looked back.
- In 2014, he discovered Shiraz and Viognier vines in need of some TLC in Ballandean, on Queensland’s Granite Belt. Today, the 40-hectare Bent Road property is home to vines, winery, wilderness and granite boulders, stretching along the pristine Severn River at more than 750 metres above sea level.
- It’s a surprisingly cool, continental corner of Queensland – one of the coolest growing regions in Australia – and that climate gives Glen’s wines their distinctive elegance, savoury spice and depth of flavour.
- La Petite Mort is Glen’s label – avant-garde, experimental and made for curious drinkers, these are wines that happily throw the rulebook out the window. Think extended skin contact, ancestral techniques and plenty of Glen’s scientific curiosity – resulting in seriously intriguing wines for those who like their next bottle to be a little bit different.
