A distinctive expression of tannat, this grows in clay-limestone soils in Las Violetas, a district within Montevideo. It's a delicious wine with ripe red fruit held in an imposing structure. Like all tannat, it's built on a sold base of tannins, here melding with firm acidity that makes it virbant maket for roast lamb.

Bouza winery was born as a family business driven by a love for the countryside and its fruits. They grew hand in hand with a fundamental premise: small-scale work always leads to better results. To achieve this, they take care of and follow the entire process fastidiously, from the vineyard to the glass. They believe that this is the way to, in the long term, reflect the personality that identifies us in our wines.
For the production of Bouza wines, they only use grapes from their five vineyards, where they work for low yields to achieve better quality. The care they give the plants throughout the year and the selection we make in each vineyard, choosing only the plots that achieve the desired quality, guarantee them excellent raw material. The harvest begins in early February with the Pinot Noir variety, followed by the white Albariño, Chardonnay and Riesling varieties; it then continues with Merlot and Tempranillo reds, generally ending in mid-March with Uruguay's flagship variety, Tannat.
