Juan Carrau Petit Manseng Tradicion is a wine produced by Bodegas Carrau, a winery based in Uruguay, known for its traditional approach to winemaking, cultivating a wide variety of grape varieties.
Petit Manseng is a white grape variety originally from the south west of France, specifically from the Jurançon region. It is a relatively rare grape outside of France, but it is also emerging in other parts of the world, including Uruguay.
Juan Carrau Petit Manseng Tradicion has a golden yellow color and is characterized by notes of honey and tropical fruit in the nose. Because of the wood aging you can taste a "butter" but the wine certainly also has enough fresh acidity, while there is also a little sweetness around the corner.
This wine is very complex and holds up well with a large number of dishes.
This white wine combines well with dishes with poultry and fatter fish.
Juan Carrau Petit Manseng Tradicion is a delicious white Uruguayan wine. This wine is made from Petit Manseng grapes.
Recommended serving temperature between 16°C and 18°C.
