The Story
Tinata is an outstanding blend of Syrah and Grenache from a single block on the Monteverro Estate. The sloped hillside vineyard is nestled next to the Mediterranean forest and is home to a century old Oak tree.
This Côtes du Rhône blend pays hommage to owner Georg Weber’s mother, Tina. Red fruit aromas, such as cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, harmoniously mingle with subtle hints of florals, herbs, and spices, such as ginger, cinnamon, and coriander, and geranium, lavender, and rose. The entrance is fresh, but finishes sweet with nuances of grenadine and a touch of cassis. Fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels, Monteverro Tinata is aged in 40% new French oak barrels and 60% egg-shaped concrete tanks for 16 months.
Wine Information
As the year before the winter of 2009/2010 was very rainy. Spring warmth has struggled to settle, so that vegetative growth was reasonable and slower than in the past. The first half of May was rainy and could have caused a difficult flowering but fortunately the situation improved later on. Summer drought was balanced by a relatively covered sky.
September was also quite cool with average temperatures around 20° C. There was hardly any rain at the end of season, so we were completely free to choose the harvest dates according to the optimal maturity of the grapes. Syrah was harvested in early September and Grenache waited until the end of September to enter the cellar in a perfect state.
Vuosikerta 2010
Italy Outstanding – A vintage with first-rate wines from seemingly everywhere in the Barolo and Barbaresco zones, both from famous producers and many unheralded ones. Beautiful balance, expressive aromatics, excellent varietal character and outstanding persistence. Power, grace and structure, from moderately priced wines all the way to the most expensive cru offerings. The 2010s will age for 20-30 years without a problem in most cases, and a few wines will age even longer.
