Description:
Of a strong purple colour with violet reflections, this noble red wine has mineral aromas coming from ripe peppers, spices and fruits of the forest accompanied by a subtle chocolate note and smoked hints coming from selected barrels. With gentle tannins in mouth, it mixes prunes and ripe blackberries with fresh eucalyptus and mint notes that add to its complexity.
Winery:
Bodega Garzon Maldonado
Located in a fantastic setting 525ft (160m) above sea level in the Garzon hills, Bodega Garzon is considered the most extraordinary wine estate in Uruguay. With the advice of international enologist Alberto Antonini, the hills were planted with a complex network of vineyards that produce wines with a strong identity, expressing the inimitable character and features of the Garzon terroir. Bodega Garzon wines have received over 125 international awards in just five years, including more than 40 distinctions in 2016. Their juicy, spicy Tannat was recognized as the best of its type in the world in 2013 and 2016, followed by a gold medal at the international wine challenge in 2017, firmly establishing it as an icon of Uruguay’s emblematic grape.
