DESCRIPTION
96 Points James Suckling-Lively purple with violet hues. High concentration that manifests in its legs; very elegant and persistent.
In 1992, the first great aging potential wine was born in Uruguay: Preludio. A top tier aged wine resulting from the selection of the best barrels. Today, Preludio is one of the iconic wines of Bodega Familia Deicas, both in the domestic market and internationally.
PRELUDIO is traditionally made with 5 varieties: Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. In the 2002 harvest, 2% of a sixth variety was added: Marselan. Keeping with traditional methods, Preludio is bottled unltered in dark bottles with special natural corks to continue aging for several months in the same underground cellars, on separate pallets. Aged in barrels in underground cellars built from stone in 1830, where the naturally constant temperature and humidity ensure optimal conditions for the best evolution of the wine. Every 6 months, the barrels which can best continue the ever demanding wine aging process are selected.
