The wine region of Montevideo
Main wine zone of Uruguay around the capital and Canelones, temperate humid climate of the Río de la Plata. Tannat signature as king red (~36%, only country where it dominates): powerful and fruity with notes of blackberry, plum, black cherry, cassis, liquorice, leather and spices, firm but locally polished tannins — fleshy fresh palate. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon and peppery Cabernet Franc in blends. Supple Merlot, round Chardonnay, zippy Albariño.
The word of the wine: Acidity
When present without excess, acidity contributes to the balance of the wine, giving it freshness and nervousness. But when it is very high, it becomes a defect, giving it a biting and green character. On the other hand, if it is insufficient, the wine is soft.
