Tandem 'Ars in Vitro' Tempranillo Merlot - Yerri Valley, Navarra, Spain
Producer's Notes:
In Latin, art in glass or in a bottle. We want to express in this wine the freshness and power of our cool-climate grapes from the Yerri Valley without the presence of wood. Fresh, enjoyable, pleasant, and ideal for any occasion. A blend of Tempranillo and Merlot, the wine is preserved for 24 months in concrete vats for natural stabilization.
What We Say:
A cherry-red color. A mountain wine with a powerful expression of the terroir. Mineral, with intense floral aromas, predominantly violets, on a background of cherries and strawberries. On the palate, it is fresh and long-lasting, again showing the Merlot variety’s floral character. This wine is unoaked; aged for at least 24 months in concrete vats and bottled by gravity with minimal filtration.
Tandem, in the heart of the Yerri Valley in the North of the Appellation Navarra. A cool microclimate, sustainable farming, and a minimal-intervention philosophy. Built North-facing and partially underground, Tandem creates the finest natural conditions and has complete respect for the environment.
