Garzón Marselan Reserva 2022
Garzón, Maldonado, San José, UruguayThis marselan, a unique cross between cabernet sauvignon and grenache, was first bred in 1961 near the French town of Marseillan in the Languedoc's Hérault. Marselan is a wine of promise with its low yielding nature and excellent disease resistance to botrytis, powdery mildew, coulure, and mites. The 2022 vintage, with its alluring wild blackberry, black cherry and black plum exudes bright freshness and youthful tannins, and is a testament to its potential. Like its 2020 counterpart, it carries a hint of minty eucalyptus that weaves through the finish. While it retains a touch of rusticity, it's on the brink of mainstream appeal, best enjoyed with roasted meats or winter vegetable casseroles. It is fermented in 150 HL cement tanks and is aged 6 to 12 months in 50 HL untoasted French oak casks.Tasted: 30 December 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
