Discovering the wine region of Salto
Historic birthplace of Uruguayan Tannat (Pascual Harriague, 1860) in the north-west of the country, continental climate with marked thermal swings, clay soils. Tannat as the signature dominant red: deep colour, intense notes of blackberry, black plum, ripe cherry, tobacco, cocoa and a leathery-spiced touch, firm but velvety and more approachable tannins than in Madiran. Structured Cabernet Sauvignon and supple Merlot as complements. Founding identity of Uruguayan wine.
