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: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
