The Sierra Oriental range is produced by a family winery boasting over a century of land cultivation experience in South America. Their Reserva Tannat uses grapes from Maldonado vineyards with high content of sand, quartz and ballast at 160-260m elevation. Wild ferment is followed by 8 month in French (80%) and American (20%) oak barrels.
The result is a wine of deep purple appearance, with aromas of blackberry and red fruits, quince, chocolate, blond tobacco, coffee and black olives. Full bodied on the palate, mature tannins are joined by flavours of fresh mint, chocolate, vanilla, jasmine and dark juicy fruit for a striking and powerful wine. Try with grilled beef, pork, lamb or game, wild mushrooms, or strong, mature cheeses.
The Diz family moved from Argentina to Uruguay in 1998, where they fell deeply in love with the Maldonado mountain region for continuing their land cultivation and growth of food crops. In 2003 they established La Oriental in Paraje José Ignacio, planting olive trees and red vines, with the first commercial harvest in 2008. It was so successful that the family starting producing wine under their own label, Sierra Oriental, in 2011.
