Tandem 'Ars Memoria' Cabernet Sauvignon - Yerri Valley, Navarra, Spain
Producer's Notes:
A deep, dark plum colour. A mature nose with notes of blackcurrant (cassis), spices, black pepper, chocolate and cedar.
Fine tannins on the palate, with plenty of volume, persistent, pleasant, with a long and elegant finish.
Fresh and elegant. Cold pre-fermentation. Fermentation at 30ºC with pistons for plunging the cap, no pumps. Malolactic fermentation in 300-litre French oak barrels.
What We Say:
One of the most distinctive and prestigious wines from Compañía Vitivinícola Tandem, a small winery in Spain’s D.O. Navarra region, specifically the cooler, elevated Valle de Yerri. It is a serious, age-worthy red that combines the classic cassis-and-cedar character of Cabernet with the freshness and elegance that Tandem seeks from its mountain vineyards. The wine is rich, generous, and substantial in volume but with fine tannins. Dark fruit carries through from the nose, while spice, cedar, and chocolate add complexity.
