Description
Alcyone Tannat Dessert Wine arrives in an elegant 500 mL bottle, offering a luscious Uruguayan interpretation of after-dinner indulgence. Named after the mythic star whose glow guided ancient sailors, this ruby-black nectar is crafted on the windswept Atlantic coast at Viña de los Vientos, where estate-grown Tannat grapes are crushed, slow-fermented, and gently fortified with neutral spirit before resting for several months in French oak. The result is a velvety, naturally sweet wine—unfiltered to preserve its fragrant intensity.
Lift the cork and you’re greeted by waves of dark chocolate truffle, ripe black cherry, and sun-dried fig entwined with caramel, vanilla bean, and a whiff of winter spices. On the palate, satin-smooth tannins frame a cascade of cassis, medjool date, and raspberry coulis, finishing with lingering notes of espresso and honeyed walnuts. Despite its richness, a bright coastal acidity keeps each sip vibrant, inviting another pour.
Serve slightly chilled alongside flourless chocolate cake, blue-veined cheeses, roasted nuts, or simply savor it solo in your favorite small-format glass. At 16% ABV, Alcyone gracefully straddles the line between port and late-harvest styles, making it an irresistible addition to any dessert course.
