Wine Description
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
“The winter season was fairly mild which advanced the bud break from several days (around the 23rd of March for Grenache and 5th of April for Syrah). We had a fairly rainy Spring during bloom which induced shattering and created naturally low yields. Then, the season was very temperate with almost no rain during summer with particularly high temperatures for July and August. We picked the first Syrah on the 8th of September under a beautiful sun and picked most of it until a rain stopped us on the 18th. We picked the Grenache 10 days after this rain.”
