Bodegas Carrau Arinarnoa
Carrau Arinarnoa has intense aromas of plums and blueberries. The taste is soft, with plenty of structure: the grape's own, ripe tannin and the wood aging together provide a texture of sultry, almost melting tannin, which is particularly pleasant.
The grapes come from one plot in the Las Violetas area, where the proximity to the ocean and the Rio Plata provides cooling. The soil consists of calcareous clay with a reasonable content of organic material.
The Arinarnoa, which is planted here, is a special grape variety, which originated in France as a wild cross between Tannat and Cabernet Sauvignon. Although officially recognized in France, hardly anything is planted there, but the grape feels more than at home in Uruguay. The Arinarnoa is a late variety so it ripens in relatively cool conditions, at the end of the season: perfect for the development of fine aromas.
The bunches are harvested by hand and transported to the cellar in small containers. After two days of cold skin maceration, the fermentation proceeds in a classic manner, after which the young wine matures for 12 months in French oak.

Bodegas Carrau
Bodegas Carrau is a winery located in Uruguay, more specifically in the Cerro Chapeu region in the north of the country. The winery has a rich history dating back to 1752, when the Carrau family started growing grapes and making wine in Catalonia, Spain. In the 19th century, part of the family emigrated to Uruguay, where they continued their winemaking traditions and founded Bodegas Carrau.
Bodegas Carrau is considered one of the oldest family-owned wineries in Uruguay and is a major player in the country's wine industry. They have vineyards located on the foothills of the Cerro Chapeu mountain range, which offers a unique terroir with favorable conditions for viticulture.
The winery is best known for its production of Tannat, Uruguay's national grape variety. Tannat is a powerful red grape variety deeply rooted in the Uruguayan winemaking tradition. Bodegas Carrau has focused on growing Tannat grapes and producing high quality red wines that highlight the potential of this grape. In addition to Tannat, Bodegas Carrau also produces other grape varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, allowing them to offer a varied range of wines.
Bodegas Carrau is known for its dedication to tradition, sustainability and craftsmanship in wine production. Their wines are often praised for their excellent quality and distinctive flavor profiles.
