About the Vineyard
Artesana is a small production, single vineyard estate winery in the Canelones region of Uruguay specializing in Tannat, Tannat blends and Zinfandel, the only Zinfandel planted and produced in Uruguay. Made with the highest quality estate grown fruit, Artesana’s handcrafted wines showcase Uruguay’s distinctive terroir and its signature varietal Tannat. Originally from France, Tannat produces rich, full-bodied wines with dark fruit and spice aromas and favors. Named for its high tannin content, Tannat has been found to be the healthiest of red wines with 3-4 times higher antioxidant levels. Artesana wines are made with minimal intervention, allowing the character of the fruit to be expressed. Gentle handling techniques are practiced throughout the process.
