Tarrango

An Australian original, Tarrango is a rare cross between Touriga Nacional and Sultana, bred in the 1960s for hot-climate viticulture. Light in color but vibrant in personality, it yields fresh, low-tannin reds with bright acidity - more Beaujolais than Barossa. Tart cranberry, sour cherry, and a leafy edge define its youthful charm, often served lightly chilled to enhance its lively, quenching style. Though rarely seen outside Australia, its adaptability and cheerful profile have won it a modest but loyal following. In an age of climate change and casual drinking, Tarrango quietly suggests that not all reds need to shout to be heard.
