Vina Salort Reserve Cabernet Franc Tannat

Since its founding in 1937, the Familia Traversa wine estate has constantly worked to improve quality, now working with state-of-the-art technology and a sustainable approach in all aspects of their production. Located in the Montevideo and Canelones regions in the South of Uruguay, their vineyards benefit from the cooling effects of the nearby Atlantic, allowing the grapes to reach full ripeness yet with moderate alcohol levels and a distinctive freshness.

In much the same way that Malbec has become the red flagship grape of Argentina, Tannat has taken a similar position in Uruguay. In this example it is blended with the often overlooked Cabernet Franc, which brings some crunchy redcurrant fruit and delightful fresh perfume to the darker fruited Tannat.
