Tandem Ars In Vitro

Compañía Vitivinícola Tandem was founded in January 2003 by Alicia Eyaralar, José María Fraile and a small group of wine-loving relatives and friends. After extensive careers in winemaking and marketing, first together and later separately in different wineries, there was a growing interest in starting up Tandem. Tandem means “at last” and represents the aspiration of its two partners and promoters, to fulfil a dream and the mission which they have taken upon themselves.

In Latin, art is in glass or in a bottle. We want to express in this wine the freshness and powerfulness of our cool climate grapes from the Yerri Valley without the presence of wood. Fresh, enjoyable, pleasant and ideal for any occasion.

Pre-fermentation cold maceration. Fermentation at 25-27 º C in stainless steel without pumps, with cap immersion or pigeage. The wine is racked by gravity to the concrete vats on the lower floor of the production plant where malolactic fermentation takes place and clarification occurs naturally through decantation. Bottled by gravity with minimal filtration.
Ageing Minimum 24 months in concrete vats. No time spent in oak.

A cherry red colour. A mountain wine with a powerful expression of the terroir. Mineral, with intense floral aromas predominately violets, on a background of cherries and strawberries. On the palate it is a fresh wine, lengthy, persisting for a long time, and displaying again the Merlot variety’s floral character.
