CRUDO

Tannat, known for its firm tannins and dark fruits, offers a rich and structured experience. While the origin of this grape variety remains unknown, it shares a classic home in Madiran, France, where it produces robust wines that benefit from time and can be blended with other varieties like Cabernet Franc or Sauvignon. In Uruguay, Tannat has become a national signature, often producing more fruit-forward expressions that are still deeply structured. Expect flavors of blackberry, black plum, cassis, licorice, smoke, cocoa, leather, and earthy spice. The palate can be full-bodied with high tannin and moderate acidity; balanced examples reveal impressive depth and grip over time. Tannat pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, aged cheeses, and other robust foods that complement its structure.
