Notos Nebbiolo, Vinedo de Los Vientos, Canelones, Uruguay, 2018 

90% Nebbiolo and 10% Tannat aged in French oak for 6 months unfined (2000 bottle production) 

Medium bodied and a translucent cherry red in colour, the aromatics are true to varietal with some floral, dried rose petals nuances, along with spice and lifted red berry fruits. 

Vinedo de Los Vientos ‘Vineyard of the winds’ is located where the River Plate, the widest river in the world, meets the Atlantic Ocean. This region provides clean cool ocean breezes and an ideal climate for the maturation of wine grapes. With only 16 hectares, they practice sustainable agriculture with no insecticides and only a very low grade fungicide to control downy mildew. The winemaker, Pablo Fallabrino, a laid back good natured surfer, is the perfect catalyst to create a world class winery. His approach is not to over think the winemaking process; instead, he runs with his instincts, takes chances and makes extraordinary wines with his own personal signature.
