We planted this famous French variety in the late nineties, the 2015 Tannat is only our fourth release under our premium White Label range. The Tannat’s famed tannins are demonstrated in this black brooding monster. The Wine was matured for two years using seasoned French and American oak. This tightly structured wine displays a bouquet of blackberry, Dutch liquorice, passionfruit, and tangerine complemented by hints of lavender and raspberry. The robust palate exhibits black forest fruits, blueberry, tamarillo, blue damson plum, with hints of Kalamata olive and prunes, coupled with cedary cigar box, peppermint, and rosemary characters. If consumed early this powerful wine will require lengthy aeration and a rich meat or game dish.
