The wine region of Las Violetas
Elite terroir of Canelones (Uruguay), 'grand cru' of Uruguayan Tannat, clay-limestone Burgundy-like soils, Atlantic oceanic climate. Exclusive signature Tannat red king: traditional austere version built for ageing — concentrated with blackberry, black cherry, plum, dried flowers, herbs, leather and cocoa touch, tight needle tannins that refine with age. Old-school, monastic style, decant or wait. Historic Uruguayan identity.
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.
The word of the wine: INAO glass
Glass adapted to wine tasting, created in the 1970s by the Institut national des appellations d'origine. At the time, it had the advantage of offering a standardised tool to all tasters. It is characterized by a wide base that allows for good ventilation and a narrow mouth (opening of the glass) to concentrate the aromas. Many high-performance glasses have been created based on this model.
