Garzon Tannat Reserva

Garzón Tannat Reserva: A Brilliant Alternative to Malbec

Bodega Garzón Tannat Reserve is the perfect bottle for Malbec drinkers looking for something new. It has the same generous dark fruit and richness, but with a little more structure, freshness and tannin. Bold without becoming heavy, it is a wonderfully approachable introduction to Uruguay’s signature red grape.

Bodega Garzón has helped put Uruguayan wine firmly on the international map. The estate was named New World Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast in 2018, while an earlier vintage of this Tannat Reserva was selected for Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines. Its vineyards lie close to Uruguay’s Atlantic coast, where cooling maritime influences help preserve freshness and balance in the grapes.

Deep purple in colour, the wine is packed with ripe plum, raspberry, blackberry and red cherry, accompanied by savoury spice and a subtle herbal edge. It is full-bodied and juicy, with the firm but polished tannins that make Tannat so distinctive. The finish is long, fresh and satisfying, leaving plenty of dark fruit and spice behind.

Garzón Tannat Reserva Food Pairing Suggestion:

This is made for grilled meat. Try it with a medium-rare steak, slow-cooked beef, lamb chops or smoky barbecue ribs. Its combination of ripe fruit and structured tannins also works beautifully with mature Cheddar, roasted aubergine or a hearty mushroom dish.
