Bodega Pablo Fallabrino Austros Tannat 2015

"Austros" Grand Reserve Tannat, Bodega Pablo Fallabrino, Canelones, Atlantida, Uruguay, 2015

Grapes: A blend of 85% Tannat & 15% Ruby Cabernet, sustainable agriculture, 60hl/ha yield, hand harvested, unfiltered, aged 36 months in used French oak barrels

Pablo's Austros has a deep, inky colour. Powerful and refined, with great complexity, mature tannins and amazing youthfulness.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Red wine composed of 85% Tannat, aged for 36 months in French oak barrels, plus 15% Ruby Cabernet (without aging in wood). With a more mature profile, it presents notes of red and empyreumatic fruits in the foreground, both on the nose and on the palate, accompanied by sweet, herbal and earthy spices. Harmonious, it has refreshing acidity, sandy tannins and a persistent finish, with touches of plums, licorice, cedar and graphite."

90/100 points, Revista Adega, December 2022

The winery is located where the River Plate, the widest river in the world, meets the Atlantic Ocean. This region provides clean cool ocean breezes and an ideal climate for the maturation of wine grapes. With only 16 hectares, they practice sustainable agriculture with no insecticides and only a very low grade fungicide to control downy mildew. The winemaker, Pablo Fallabrino, a laid back good natured surfer, is the perfect catalyst to create a world class winery. His approach is not to over think the winemaking process; instead, he runs with his instincts, takes chances and makes extraordinary wines with his own personal signature.

Pablo Fallabrino was awarded WINEMAKER OF THE YEAR by Tim Atkin MW in his 2023 Uruguay report.
