Vintage 2015
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.
"An explosion of Mediterranean scrub and rose petals, this Tinata 2015 is a wine with a very beautiful structure, intense and lively. It would be ideal to forget it for a few more years in the cellar: the aging will do nothing but enhance its innate elegance"
