The Tannat of all Tannats in Bodega Garzón.
Grape Varietal and Region: 100% Tannat from Garzon, Uruguay. The vineyard where these beautiful Tannat grows is in a cooler area, compared to other blocks on the estate. The terrain has steep slopes and thin soils with excellent drainage due to the predominance of ballast in the upper layers.
Taste profile: This wine has a deep purple colour. This powerful Tannat has an elegant nose, with aromas resembling red fruits, such as cherries and strawberries at first waft. The other flavours of black plums, tobacco, chocolate and spices slowly blossom from within. The full-bodied wine has a juicy and fresh mouth, giving you a pleasant sensation. It has a long and lingering finish, perfectly balanced with a touch of oak.
Winemaking process: Aging takes place between 12 to 18 months on the lees in French oak barrels and casks.
