Vinedo de los Vientos Alcyone Tannat Dessert Wine NV, Uruguay

Pure chocolate dessert wine!

Alcyone Tannat is a full-bodied dessert red wine from Atlantida, Uruguay. It's 100% Tannat with 16.0% abv. Suitable for Vegetarians.

Winemaker Pablo Fallabrino's stunning dessert wine combines the techniques of Barolo Chinato and Marsala to create a truly unique sweet red. The Tannat base wine is fortified with brandy and aromatised with several roots and herbs before being aged for several years in French oak barrels. Inky-purple in colour and honeyed in texture, the wine is like pure chocolate. Vanilla, white cacao and apple mint support the supple, smooth finish. 

You'll like this if you like...  Port, or fortified red wines.

Pairs beautifully with: Chocolate torte, salted caramel brownies, roast duck, or rich pates.

Cheese pairing: Creamy, ripe blue cheese or baked Camembert.
