Bodega Garzon
Estate Tannat de Corte
Maldonado, Uruguay, Uruguay
Bodega Garzón – Tannat de Corte 2019
Maldonado – Uruguay 🇺🇾
Overview
80% Tannat, 12% Marselan, 4% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot. A thoughtful estate blend from Uruguay’s flagship winery, Garzón, showcasing both structure and elegance.
Aromas & Flavors:
Dark plum, blackberry compote, and cassis with hints of cocoa, dried herbs, and a whisper of violet. The supporting grapes add depth: Marselan contributes juiciness, Cabernet Franc adds lift, and Petit Verdot layers in spice and grip.
Mouthfeel:
Concentrated and structured with firm tannins yet polished texture. Balanced acidity frames the fruit, giving the wine freshness alongside its power.
Food Pairings:
Perfect with grilled ribeye, lamb chops, or rich stews. Can also handle aged cheeses and charcuterie.
Verdict:
A benchmark for modern Uruguayan reds, bold yet refined. The Tannat is dominant, but the blend makes it more approachable and layered than a pure varietal bottling. Cheers!
Did You Know?
Uruguay is the only country in the world where Tannat is the national grape. Thanks to the Atlantic Ocean breezes in Maldonado, tannins here are more polished compared to their French counterparts from Madiran.
