Elusive in their Andean mountain forest homes, the spectacled bear, Ukumar, is the only species of bear in South America. As this bear is rarely encountered in nature, so are pure Tannat wines. For this reason, we dedicate our label to this fascinating spirit.
The tannat grape, originally from southwest France, shares a long history in Argentina, with some of the oldest and highest-altitude vines in Salta being tannat.
Our 100% Tannat is crafted to extract the full potential of the richest grape from the high altitude vines of the Calchaqui Valley. The wine is bold and powerful like the bear. Deep in color, rich in tannins, abundant in flavor with a concentrated essence of dark berries and spice.
Production of Ukumar is limited to 100 cases per year.
