Description
Experience the distinctive allure of Bodega Garzón Estate Tannat De Corte 2022, a remarkable wine from the stunning landscapes of Maldonado, Uruguay. This captivating red blend features a masterful combination of 80% Tannat, 12% Marselan, and 4% Petit Verdot, showcasing the estate's rich interplay of terroir and innovative winemaking techniques. Crafted in the shadow of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards thrive amidst varying microclimates, enhancing the expression of the grapes and delivering a wine that is both full-bodied and approachable.
- Tasting Notes: The nose invites with vibrant notes of ripe red cherries and strawberries, layered with the richness of black plums, nuanced by dark chocolate and tobacco. On the palate, experience a beautiful balance of plush blackberry and plum flavors, supported by soft tannins and a lingering finish marked by spicy warmth.
- Vinification: Hand-harvested grapes underwent a meticulous fermentation process in stainless steel tanks, ensuring the utmost care to preserve the integrity of the flavors. The wine is aged on the lees for up to six months before bottling, allowing it to develop rich complexities.
- Serving Suggestions: Elevate your tasting experience by serving this exquisite wine at a slightly cool temperature of 16-18°C. Decant at least an hour before serving to soften the bold tannins. This wine pairs beautifully with:
- Grilled meats such as smoky paprika-seasoned lamb skewers or medium-rare T-bone steak.
- A rustic cheese platter featuring strong cheeses like Roquefort and toasted walnuts.
- A rich seafood pasta with tomato-based sauce, which complements the wine's fruit-forward profile.
- Hearty dishes like cassoulet or duck confit, where the wine's robust structure excels.
This dry red wine is not just a drink; it's an immersive experience that embodies the essence of its origin, making it an ideal addition to your collection or a perfect gift for wine enthusiasts.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of red wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles consistently between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) ideally around 55°F; avoid fluctuations or temperatures above 70°F or below 45°F to prevent premature aging or spoilage.
- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in a dark environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and fluorescent lights as UV rays can degrade wine quality.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist to prevent shrinking and air ingress. Proper humidity helps maintain this seal.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally so the wine stays in contact with the cork maintaining cork moisture and a proper seal.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity between 50% and 70% to prevent cork drying or mold growth on labels and corks.
- Opened Bottles: Once opened red wine should be re-corked tightly and refrigerated (approx. 40-45°F/4-7°C) to slow oxidation and chemical degradation. Let refrigerated wine warm to serving temperature (~60-65°F) before drinking.
- Special Tips for Red Wine: Avoid vibrations and store in a place with stable temperature and humidity to support gradual proper aging without risk of spoilage.
These guidelines will help maintain the quality and extend the shelf life of the red wine.
