Discovering the wine region of Canelones
Uruguay's main region north of Montevideo (~90% of national output). National star Tannat: powerful, structured reds with signature notes of blackberry, black plum, violet, leather, tobacco and spice, firm tannins and notable ageing potential — more Tannat planted here than in Madiran, its birthplace. Also round Merlot, peppery Cabernet Franc, spicy Syrah. Fresh saline Albarino whites.
Temperate maritime "Bordeaux-like" climate, Tannat introduced in 1870 by the Basque Harriague.
Discover the grape variety: Pinot noir
Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.
