AMAUTA TANNAT 2023 - BODEGA EL PORVENIR DE CAFAYATE

If you think that Tannat is a robust and tannic variety that requires many years of aging to mellow, then Amauta Tannat by Bodega El Porvenir de Cafayate is here to change your mind once and for all. With a price like that, it's going to be a blast!

The family winery in Cafayate (Salta) makes unique wines, at high altitudes, combining both juicy, ripe fruit and sharp acidity! The compelling French variety is perfectly acclimatized to the Cafayate microclimate and gives unique red wines, either fresh or for long aging, but just as enjoyable.

Amauta Tannat El Porvenir de Cafayate is the fresh version of the variety and is truly amazing! The vines are 13 years old and are located at an altitude of 1700 meters (yes in Salta when they are talking about altitudes they are not joking). The altitude combined with the intense sunshine, the dry climate, and the special, sandy soil give grapes with perfect ripening and concentration that you can taste in the wine. The wine is fermented at controlled temperatures and matured in stainless steel tanks. The result is rich, fruity, and juicy, with a nice structure and crisp acidity.

If you are looking for a wine to accompany your juicy burgers, you just found it!

Amauta Tannat El Porvenir de Cafayate has a deep purple color and an intense nose full of juicy black fruits such as plum, cherry, bilberry, sour cherry, and blackberry. Notes of toffee, chocolate, coffee, and licorice complete the special ensemble.

In the mouth, it has a medium (+) body, crisp acidity, and medium but ripe tannins. Cherry jam, sour cherry, raspberry, plum, cinnamon, cocoa, coffee, and eucalyptus fill up the palate in every sip.
