Tannat de Moncade
Imanol Garay (Pyrénées)
Tannat • 2021
From 60 year old vines which took several passes to full harvest and as the grapes saw various maceration times and approaches: part direct press, part semi-carbonic, and part fully carbonic, averaging at 2.5 weeks of total maceration time. What was directly pressed saw elevage in barrique, while the macerated juice was raised in amphora. A lean expression of Tannat from a cooler than average vintage which has produced a vertical wine with lean texture and lifted aromatics.
