Vina Progresso Revolution Tannat is a bold yet surprisingly approachable red, with loads of dark fruit on the nose – think juicy blackberries, ripe plums and a touch of cherry, all backed up by a warm hit of black pepper, mocha and spice. There’s even a little savoury edge, like wild mushrooms or smoky bacon crisps.
On the palate it’s medium-bodied and super drinkable, with silky tannins and a fresh, crunchy acidity that keeps it from feeling heavy. There’s depth from the oak – a bit of vanilla and toast – but it’s really well balanced and never over the top. A proper modern Tannat with bags of character.
Try this with flame-grilled mushrooms stuffed with lentils and herbs, grilled ribeye or sticky BBQ beef ribs or if you're thinking cheese, try aged Manchego or a mature Cheddar.
"I love how this manages to be both structured and smooth – it’s not the kind of Tannat that’ll dry your mouth out or need a steak just to tame it. It’s juicy, smoky, and just plain delicious. Great for when you want a red with a bit of swagger that still plays nicely with your dinner."
Viña Progreso is the brainchild of Gabriel Pisano, a fourth-generation winemaker with roots deep in Uruguay’s wine heritage and experience from top wine regions like Sonoma and Priorat. Gabriel’s whole mission is to bring a fresh, modern approach to Uruguay’s traditional grapes, and the Revolution range is all about shaking up expectations – starting with Tannat, the country’s signature red.
The vineyards are in Canelones, near the coast, where the climate’s spot-on for Tannat – plenty of sunshine, but with cooling Atlantic breezes to keep the grapes in check. Everything’s hand-harvested and carefully sorted, so only the best fruit makes it in.
In the cellar, Gabriel keeps things artisanal and hands-on. This wine is fermented in open barrels using wild yeasts, with gentle punch-downs to extract colour and flavour without too much tannin. After that, it’s aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels – just enough to add polish and spice without overshadowing the fruit.
The wine’s bottled unfiltered, which helps it keep all that character and depth.
