Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Canelones, the department just north of Montevideo, is Uruguay's wine heartland — maritime, humid, and planted on clay soils that suit the country's signature Tannat. Blending Tannat with Cabernet Franc is the classic local move: the Franc brings a leafy, red-fruited lift that softens Tannat's formidable grip without taming it. Blackberry and black plum here, with tobacco, graphite and a dark chocolate edge from barrel ageing, and a bay-leaf herbal tug underneath. Full-bodied with high, firm tannin — a wine that wants grilled meat, or a few years of patience.
