Forever pushing the envelope of winemaking, we bring South Africans more never before seen plantings, such as Tannat. Historically grown in the Basque region of France, today Tannat is one of the most prominent grapes grown in Uruguay. Having rooted itself just as comfortably in our local soils, this red shows off abundant yet elegant tannins and spiced dark fruits on the nose.
The Tannat grapes were destemmed, lightly crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Gentle pump-overs were done three times a day. Just before the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wine was pressed off the skins to prevent too much tannin being extracted and to ensure the fruit flavours were preserved. The wine was transferred to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and maturation, where it spent 16 months in barrel before bottling.
