Three generations
united by wine
Rosado Tannat-Merlot VCP
Tannat
Originally from Maridan, it was introduced to Uruguay by Pascual Harriague in 1870. Its acclimation and expansion were so great that today it is the emblematic variety of our country. It is characterized by producing wines with high polyphenol content, very intense color, and a lot of body.
Merlot
Originally from Bordeaux, it is widespread in the world. It is characterized by producing very fruity and smooth wines. It has become a variety widely used for blending wines due to its contribution of softness and balance.
This blend shows the most subtle profile of Tannat with its pale pink color, and on the palate it is very balanced and fresh, complemented by the aromatic exuberance of Merlot.
