Tannat
Our Tannant is the pride of Veteris Conventus! Julius Caesar introduced this complexly bred wine to France. The sweet tannins and balanced acids give the palate an initial, yet long enduring taste. To the nose, it gives a bouquet of fresh forest wild fruits such as gooseberry and raspberry along with subtle undertones of pear and pineapple.
The aroma of the French oak cask is present accompanied by a delightful sweet vanilla scent making this wine an ideal accompaniment to game, red meats or casserole stews.
It is best served at 16 – 18°C.
