Vintage 2014
TINATA
Sensuality and Mediterranean aromas are what define this elegant cuvée of Syrah and Grenache that combines complexity and crispness. The grapes grow around a hundred yearold cork oak on one of our best slopes, bordering a stretch of typical Mediterranean maquis, which gives the wine its characteristic aromas of lavender, rosemary and thyme.
Syrah gives this wine its spicy character and full-bodied structure, Grenache its crispness, elegance and engaging fruity note.
"A cool year for this sensual Tinata that emanates pink and lavender, and greener tones--caper and tomato leaf. A grand aromatic elegance that will be interesting to observe over the long term. "
