Domingo Molina Tannat 2015

“Even the Tannat, which can be very rustic and even harsh, shows finesse in the hands of the Domingo brothers, notable for their attention to detail. There is great detail, nuance and texture; the tannins are polished, and the finish is long and with very integrated oak.” Wine Advocate (R. Parker)

Produced by Rafael Domingo at the Domingo Molina winery in the Rupestre Valley, Salta, at 2,000 metres above sea level. Grown in alluvial, sandy-loam soils with stones at depth, in a desert-like climate with high thermal amplitude.

Deep purple with violet hints. Aromas of chocolate and cooked fruits, especially figs. Soft tannins. Full-bodied with a rich mouthfeel. An elegant wine with a long finish. To maintain the natural qualities of this wine, it has not been filtered, so small deposits can sometimes appear in the wine. Uncork 30 minutes prior to drinking.

Pair It

Best served at 10° C, this Tannat is a perfect pair with red meat, especially game.
