WINE DESCRIPTION

Artesana Tannat is a bold and expressive wine that showcases the exceptional quality of Uruguay’s signature grape. Produced in the Canelones region, this small-batch gem reflects Artesana’s dedication to sustainable and meticulous viticulture. The hand-farmed vineyard employs dry farming and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques, ensuring the long-term health of its 80-acre estate. With low yields of just 2.5 tons per acre, the Tannat is carefully harvested, fermented in stainless steel in small lots, and aged for 14 months in a blend of American and French oak. Artesana Tannat is a testament to the artistry and precision of Uruguayan winemaking, offering a wine of remarkable structure and character.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Artesana Tannat delivers intense aromas of dark berries, plum, and hints of spice, balanced by firm tannins and a velvety texture.On the palate, layers of ripe fruit and subtle oak lead to a lingering, harmonious finish. Its robust structure makes it an ideal partner for grilled lamb, hearty beef stews, or barbecued ribs. For a vegetarian pairing, try it with roasted portobello mushrooms or rich lentil dishes. Decanting is recommended to enhance its flavors, and it can age gracefully for up to a decade, rewarding those who wait.
