Long Term Pre-arrival sales ensure you’re getting the best possible price and that you have also secured the product before it hits the normal retail supply chain. The lead time for Pre-arrival goods is generally 4–8 months, sometimes longer based on supply chain and the logistics of transporting goods overseas. The expectation, from our team, is to communicate to the customer the location of their purchase every step of the way.
This product is offered as a full case purchase option, minimum order quantities may be applicable. When available, multiple case options will be presented. If you are purchasing a Pre-Arrival item you must order a solid case.

Plenty of pencil shavings, dark fruit and blackberries follow through to a medium body, with a tight and focused palate and a long and flavorful finish. Reserved and polished. Very drinkable now but even better in a year or two.
Tannat is a bold, tannic red grape variety originally from southwest France, where it is the dominant grape in Madiran AOC wines. It has also become Uruguay’s flagship red grape, thriving in the country's warmer climate and clay-rich soils, where it produces a more approachable style.
What makes Tannat unique is its exceptionally high tannin content and deep color, resulting in structured, powerful, and long-lived wines. In France, Tannat wines are intensely tannic, with flavors of blackberry, plum, earth, smoke, and spice, often requiring extended aging or blending (typically with Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc) to soften. In Uruguay, winemakers use techniques such as micro-oxygenation and oak aging to create a more fruit-forward, balanced style, with softer tannins and lively acidity.
Tannat is also notable for its high levels of polyphenols and antioxidants, making it one of the healthiest red wines. It pairs well with grilled meats, stews, and aged cheeses, offering a robust and distinctive drinking experience.

Leads with savory undertones and hints of dried strawberry and cardamom before adding a juicy plum core, while subtle floral and herb notes chime in. Offers rich dark chocolate details, with nice persistence and firm but integrated tannins.

Ground black pepper and plums open the nose of this well-balanced Tannat from coastal vineyards. The dense palate exhibits a fruit-forward character, with blackberries and hints of cardamom. It has sturdy tannins, vibrant acidity and a juicy finish.
Winery Notes
Of a deep purple colour, this powerful Tannat has an elegant nose, with aromas reminiscent of red fruits such as cherries and strawberries, black plums, tobacco and black chocolate on a spice-flavoured range. It is a full-bodied wine with a juicy and fresh mouth, pleasant sensation and a long and vibrant finish.
