Crushed & Cured
Bodega Garzón Estate, Tannat De Corte, Maldonado, Uruguay, 2022
The blend is plush and juicy with predominantly red fruit aromas from the Tannat, tempered by the softness and character of Marselan, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The palate is well balanced, medium bodied, with layers of flavour and soft tannins. Red fruits are expressed both on the nose and palate, with subtle tannins and a smooth finish.
The hand-harvested grapes were processed separately. After five days of maceration the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks at 26-28°C for one week with twice daily pump overs. The wines then remained in tank for a further three to six months on the lees before blending and bottling.
