I'm Richard, and I've spent over twenty years in wine — mostly on the road, in vineyards, sitting with the people who grow things.
Tancello started with a piece of fruit I couldn’t stop thinking about. A tangelo is a tangerine crossed with a pomelo, and it does something neither parent manages on its own: the sweetness of a mandarin, the perfume of a grapefruit, and a clean bitter finish.
Rick and Cathy Edmonds grow mine at Renmark, up on the Murray, where the fruit sits in South Australian sun all summer. They’re the reason this works. No tangelos, no Tancello.
I hand craft Tancello in Adelaide in small batches, with real fruit and a lot of patience.
It’s bright, a little tangy, and at its best poured long over ice with something sparkling — which is, I reckon, the finest way to end a day.
