TRAVERSA TANNAT MERLOT

………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Composition: 60% Tannat 40% Merlot

Vineyards: Montevideo, South of Uruguay, 15 km away from sea.

Yield per hectare: between 12 and 18,000 kg

Alcohol: 12.5%

Winemaking: A short pre-fermentation maceration is conducted at a controlled temperature of 4° C. In this way, an intense color and fruity aromas are obtained, after which selected yeasts are added. Fermented in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 25° C and 28° C.

Tasting note: This 60% Tannat and 40% Merlot wine is a classic Uruguayan blend that combines the best of each vine. Ruby red in colour with violet hues and spicy, floral notes on the nose.  The classic tannat tannins are softened by the merlot, providing for a velvety, smooth finish. Pair this wine with homemade stews, oven-baked beef or vegetable dishes and pasta.
