Vintage 2017
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.
Like a Nocturne by Chopin, Tinata 2017 with its dreamy and romantic nature, leads us into a surprising melody scanned by notes of undergrowth fruit and Mediterranean nuances.
