Amauta Absoluto Tannat

In a Nutshell

Black as your hat and slightly spicy - a delightfully lifted fruity number from a grape that can often be hard work!

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby colour with red berry fruit on the nose, along with spicy notes and hints of figs, menthol and eucalyptyus. These lifted flavours continue to the palate and are backed up by smooth integrated tannins and fresh acidity to crteate a long finish.
