Bin Series

Marselan is a red French wine grape variety that is a cross between cabernet sauvignon and grenache. It produces delicious wines with deep colour and soft tannins. This new addition to our Bin Series range has a lovely bright, fresh red-fruit profile showing its floral garnacha side, offering plentiful juicy fruit. It can be served cool.  
   
Marselan was first bred in 1961 by Paul Truel near the French town of Marseillan, hence the name. The grapes are thick-skinned, and rot resistant, so are ideally suited to Uruguay’s damp climate. It comes from the new, high-quality, cool Atlantic coastal region of Garzón. Temperatures are moderated by its close proximity to the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean and its very well-drained granite soils concentrate ripening ability.
