The wine region of Rivera
Sub-region of northern Uruguay on the Brazilian border (Campagna), subtropical humid climate with long sunshine hours, deep draining red sandy soils. Tannat is the dominant signature red: structured with intense blackberry, plum, black cherry, tobacco, leather and a cocoa-spicy touch, firm tannins and full body. Cabernet Sauvignon as firm complement and Chardonnay as opulent white. Bodega Cerro Chapeu as flagship.
The word of the wine: Viscosity
Consistency of wine reminiscent of the tactile sensation of sugar syrup with varying degrees of fluidity, due to the alcohol and natural sugar in the grapes present in sweet wines. In excess, this sensation can make the wine pasty and heavy. To the eye, viscosity is referred to as tears.
