Don Pascual Petit Verdot 2008- Bodega Juanico, Uruguay
Price U$ 10
Don Pascual Tannat 2007- Bodega Juanico, Uruguay
Price U$ 15
Uruguayan wines are very underrated and here are just two great examples of why this happens.
The Petit Verdot is one of the grapes used in Bordeaux and is used in some blends, but it is rare to find a good 100% petit verdot. This Don Pascual is smooth with a very nice finish similar to a merlot in softness.
The Tannat is a french grape that is Uruguay´s signature wine. The climate and terrain conditions allow it to develop very well and reach its full of potential in this small South American country.
This Tannat is aged in french oak and has hints of grapefruit, melon and vanilla. Great with BBQ and pasta.
