Vinedo de los Vientos Atlantida Alcyone Tannat Dessert Wine 500mL

This fortified dessert wine is made in a combination of both Chinato and Marsala wines. The base wine is Tannat that is soaked in a special recipe of herbs and dried fruit. The wine is dripping with notes of creamy caramel like a wethers original. This is a chocolate cake with a melted caramel middle and vanilla frosting in a bottle.

Viñedo de los Vientos is located 4 km’s from the Atlantic Ocean in Atlantida Uruguay, a sub region of Canelones, one of the coolest growing regions in Uruguay. Pablo Fallabrino is the owner, grower and winemaker of Viñedo de los Vientos and he lives on the estate with his wife and two children. His grandfather, Angelo Fallabrino immigrated to Uruguay in 1920 from Piedmont and planted 5 vineyards and started 2 wineries in the 1930’s. Pablo studied with both his father and grandfather and eventually started the current, single vineyard estate in 1997 where they currently have 12 hectares under vine on their 30 hectare estate. Viñedo de los Vientos produces mostly Piedmontese varietals in addition to Tannat and their wines typically show an old world, nuanced style which we tend to gravitate towards. Pablo is also an avid surfer.
