Vintage 2016

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.

"Tinata 2016 is like the story "In search of lost time". Alcohol is a balanced vehicle of all essences from cinnamon to thyme, roses, cherries and macerated strawberries, garnished with velvety and persistent depths. You can be easily conquered by this wine, even starting now, without any restrain."
