Product Description
This 2019 vintage wine is made from 100% Tannat grapes, hailing from Uruguay. Bodegas Bouza, situated on Uruguay's southern coast near Montevideo, has a rich history. Originally built in 1942, it was revitalized in 2000 by Juan and Elisa Bouza, along with winemaker Eduardo Boido, and became a top - tier producer in South America. The Tannat grapes for 'Vinedos de Azucar' come from a single vineyard just 7km from the sea, enjoying a cooling 'virazon' breeze. This full - bodied wine features a deep color and a powerful tannin structure. It's bold yet elegant, with intense flavors of black plums, cherry compote, dark chocolate, licorice, and freshly ground espresso. For the best experience, let the wine breathe for at least an hour before serving it with smoked beef ribs, venison stew, or portobello mushroom burgers.
To enjoy this Bouza 'Pan de Azucar' Tannat red wine, first, open the bottle and let it sit for at least an hour. This allows the wine to 'breathe' and develop its full flavor. You can serve it at a slightly cooler room temperature, around 60 - 64°F. When it comes to food pairings, it goes great with smoked beef ribs, venison stew, or portobello mushroom burgers. Remember to store the wine in a cool, dark place. If there's any leftover wine, cork it tightly and keep it in the fridge, but try to finish it within a day or two as it will start to lose its flavor over time.
