    90 Pts, James Suckling, 2023

Fermentation occurred at controlled temperatures of 28°C, during which a slow extraction took place with cap submersions to achieve the desired levels of colour, flavour and fine tannins. Pumps were not used during the fermentation process. Instead, the wine was racked by gravity into concrete vats. The wine underwent malolactic conversion, and natural clarification took place by decanting into concrete vats; it was not cold, stabilised, or fined. The wine then spent at least 24 months in concrete vats, followed by nine months ageing in French 300-litre oak barrels.

It is an elegant wine overflowing with ripe black fruit flavours complemented by delicate black olive and spicy roasted red chilli notes. Layered with complexity, this is a powerful expression of its mountainous terroir.

Winery

Tandem's vineyard philosophy is based on sustainable farming and minimal intervention while maintaining the vineyard's health and viability. The natural conditions of the valley ensure that pesticide treatments can be kept to a minimum. They take the form of sulphur and copper, avoiding products made from synthetic chemicals. The vines are dry-farmed and undergo a green harvest to obtain lower yields, which is a key factor in achieving a greater concentration in the berries. The vines are trained using the Guyot method and are grown in clay loam soils. Harvesting occurs at the moment of optimal ripeness and occurs during the coolest hours of the day, so the grapes retain their freshness.
