Marichal - 'Gran Reserva' Tannat 2015
NZD$75.00
"Fantastically strong varietal character here with a clear range of purple and black fruit flavours, reminiscent of plums, cherries and mulberry fruits. It is well balanced and managed on the palate with a good oak, fruit, and tannin balance. It is plush and rich on the palate which just begs for something meaty to pair with it. Spiced meats and black plum jam on the finish."
Bodega Marichal has got a long history in winemaking from back in the Canary Islands off Spain's eastern coastline. The Marichal family emigrated to Uruguay in the 1910s and finally decided to set up a family winery in the late 1930s. Ever since then they have been producing a range of interesting and exciting wines which help to give Uruguay a place in the wine world.
