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
|
2011 began with a very rainy winter which filled up the water reserve before the beginning of the season. The spring was warmer than average and budbreak and flowering were about a week earlier than in 2010. These conditions had a very positive impact on the quality of the vintage as it resulted in a very even grape development. Summer was a bit cooler and two rains of 25 mm (July 5 and July 27) helped the veraison and the beginning of the maturation continue without water stress. The end of the ripening was accelerated by a hot August, and we harvested the Syrah from August 26 Q September 1. Due to a reduced yield, the Grenache matured almost immediately around September 10. |
