Tandem 'Ars Nova' Red Blend - Valle de Yerri, Navarra, Spain
Producer's Notes:
New Art in Latin, very applicable to the philosophy of this wine. Ars Nova was a 14th-century musical movement that introduced volume into music. Until that time, music was flat and monochrome. This new way of creating music was more complex, marked by harmony and rhythm. This was the origin of polyphony. Music which was composed from then onwards was called ars nova, and music prior to that time was termed ars antiqua. It has been compared with the introduction of perspective in painting, which occurred during the same period. Ars Nova is an elegant wine, feminine, multi-layered, a wine for reflection and enjoyment.
A deep ruby red color with a violet rim. Complex and fresh on the nose, revealing ripe red and black fruit and balsamic hints. With many layers and elegance. Bramble berry fruits, blueberries, licorice and blackberries, scrubland, thyme and mint. Delightful, long, enveloping, and extraordinary. A fresh mountain wine with a strong expression of its terroir.
What We Say:
A juicy, fresh, and layered palate, with blackberry and blueberry flavors accompanied by subtle spice, licorice, and herbal nuances. The tannins provide structure without overwhelming the fruit, while the wine's acidity gives it lift and energy. The combination of blackberry, blueberry, and other brambly fruits with licorice, thyme, mint, and Mediterranean scrubland aromas gives the wine both fruit richness and appealing freshness.
Ars Nova was Tandem's very first wine, made when the winery began in 2003. The estate describes it as its signature blend and says the original objective was to create a classy Navarra crianza-style wine using the three-grape combination of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot.
