Vina Salort Tannat Reserva

Uruguayan wines have unique qualities given the country’s privileged geographical location, climate, and soil diversity.   Positive influence of the sea moderates the temperatures during the hottest months of the year, granting Uruguayan wines with a particularly refined touch.   Canelones is the epicentre of the Uruguayan wine industry. Running from the north-west of the capital Montevideo, the area runs in an arc to the Atlantic coast east of the city and is responsible for around 60% of Uruguay’s total production. Famous for its Tannat, the moderate coastal climate also suits many international varietals.

Vinification Process:  The initial maceration is conducted at a controlled temperature of 4°C to control colour and tannin structures,  after which selected yeasts are added. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, then 40% of the wine is aged in American oak barriques (second and third use) for 6 months.

Tasting Note: This intense red Tannat with violet hues has a leathery, blackberry jam bouquet that slowly reveals itself once the wine is served. The typical tannins of the variety, rounded by its time aged in barrels, are present, but smooth and well-rounded
