Petit Manseng
Bodegas Carrau
Well, well, this Petit Manseng really comes storming in. For people who love a full and rich white wine in which you can taste and smell many different things. Honey, tropical fruit and for sure wood, but yet this Petit Manseng also delivers a lot of freshness. This is just a wine that has much to give and won't bore you anytime soon.
Bodegas Carrau is a family business with a long history. The family started making wine in Spain, but moved to the Las Violetas region of Uruguay after the Great Depression of the 1930s. This region is located at exactly the same latitude as the well-known wine regions of Chile and South Africa. Due to the significant temperature differences between day and night, the grapes ripe slowly and are given every opportunity to develop their full aroma potential. The unique terroir, a red sandy soil with small limestones and the cutting of still green bunches of grapes in the growing season ensures a lower yield and grapes with an intense character.

Bold
Powerful, full-bodied and intense. Think dark fruit, ripe tannins, spice and a long finish. For those who like their reds with plenty of character.
For example: Bordeaux · Barolo · Cabernet Sauvignon
Smooth
Rich, round and silky. Ripe fruit, soft tannins and often a warm, spicy character. Easy to love, but never boring.
For example: Merlot · Tempranillo · Primitivo
Juicy
Fresh, fruity and wonderfully smooth. Packed with red fruit, gentle tannins and seriously easy to drink. These are reds you can even enjoy slightly chilled.
For example: Pinot Noir · Gamay · Zweigelt
Sweet-Fortified
Rich, sweet and intense. From velvety dessert wines to powerful fortified classics, with flavours of dried fruit, nuts and spice.
For example: Port · Madeira · Banyuls
Rosy
From pale, crisp and dry to juicy, fruity and expressive. Rosé has far more to offer than just a sunny terrace. Discover the style that suits you.
For example: Provence · Grenache · Cinsault
Fresh
Crisp, vibrant and refreshing. Think citrus, green apple, minerality and lively acidity. Perfect if you like your whites bright and zesty.
For example: Sauvignon Blanc · Albariño · Picpoul
Rich
Full-bodied, rich and complex. White wines with plenty of texture, ripe fruit and sometimes creamy, buttery or oaky notes. For those who like a little more weight in their glass.
For example: Chardonnay · Viognier · White Rhône
Mellow
Soft, aromatic and inviting. Fruity and floral wines with plenty of fragrance, a rounded character and often a subtle hint of spice.
For example: Riesling · Gewürztraminer · Pinot Gris
Sparkling
Bubbles! From crisp, fresh and citrusy to rich, creamy and refined. Perfect as an aperitif, for something worth celebrating, or simply because sparkling wine is always a good idea.
For example: Champagne · Cava · Crémant
Orange
White wine with a twist. Made from white grapes that ferment with their skins, just like red wine. This adds texture, grip and more pronounced flavours. Sometimes funky, sometimes surprisingly refined.
For example: Ribolla Gialla · Rkatsiteli · Malvasia
Mystery
No label, no preconceptions. Just you and the glass. Smell, taste and try to guess the grape, country or region. Maybe you'll nail it straight away. Maybe you'll be completely wrong. That's all part of the fun.
