Don Guerino El Gaucho Tannat 750ml
Don Guerino El Gaucho Tannat is a wine steeped in symbolism. It was conceptually developed to pair with barbecue, hence its name, a tribute to the gaucho culture intrinsically associated with the Latin American pampas, which for generations has perfected the art of grilling meat.
Made from a selection of plots from the first (and oldest) vineyard planted in 2001 by Don Guerino.
