Familia Traversa hand harvest Cabernet Franc and Tannat grapes from the area of Paso Cuello in Canelones, Uruguay; an area known for its highly calcareous soils, mild Bordeaux-style climate, and affinity for French varietals. Traditional fermentation with a further 6 months maturation in oak.
The result is an engaging blend with energetic acidity, rich berry fruit, warming spice and rounded vanilla flavours. The cleansing finish is full and long. Try with earthy game, pork chops, lamb, rich mushroom pastas or creamy cheeses such as Brie.

Founded in 1937, they use state of the art technology and pride themselves in the sustainable nature of the winery, with solar panels, reduced bottle weights and increased use of composting to replace inorganic fertilisers.
