VIVENT DE TANNAT
HISTORY
VIVENT means life in Catalan. This fortified wine was vinified from very ripe Tannat grapes.
REGION
Las Violetas, Canelones, Uruguay
VARIETAL COMPOSITION
100% Tannat
WINEMAKING
The grapes were harvested and selected by hand. Then they were fermented in small quantities with controlled temperature and it was fortified with alcohol from cereals, to obtain a port-style wine. Finally, it rested in oak barrels for 18 months.
TASTING NOTE
Intense and fragrant wine, with honey and floral aromas, as well as nuts (almonds and hazelnuts). Over time aromas of chocolate and citrus appear. Suggestive on the nose, while on the palate the freshness of this liqueur wine is striking, with its more than 18 degrees of alcohol very well integrated. However, what is most surprising is its acidity, amalgamated with sugars giving an almost perfect structure. It remains in the mouth for a long time, leaving memories of the fresh must, with a delicate finish. Serve at 7ºC in summer or room temperature in winter.
