Description
Tara’s limited production comes from a single vineyard located just 22 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean, on the second terrace of the Huasco River. Capturing and infusing its origin in every glass means opting for artisanal winemaking methods at every step of the harvesting, winemaking and even bottling process. All the grapes are harvested by hand and some bunches are crushed by foot in whole bunches, to create wines which are the expression of their extreme origin. The 100% Shiraz were aged in fifth-use, Burgundy-style, 228-litre
French oak barrels for 24 months before being bottled unclarified and unfiltered.
Tasting Notes :
This is a deep ruby-red wine which reveals a mix of black fruits, herbs and graphite. It’s fresh, with notes of wild herbs, spices and firm tannins. In the mouth, this full-bodied wine displays delicious acidity, which lends interesting tension to the wine, as well as firm
tannins. Very long in the finish. The calcareous soil of the second terrace of the River Huasco gives its characteristics to this very special wine, representing the chalky soil and climate of the coastal desert.
