2018 Bago Tannat Vintage Release
“Are you friends with the monster?
The much awaited 2018 Bago Tannat, as credited by Dan Traucki in WBM from 2019, is finally ready for release. Get your hands on this bold aromatic red - but be prepared, it's a variety that "commands attention!”
It's a drop that has gone from strength to strength with our 2018 trumping the previous vintages.

“Two tank samples of the 2018 and 2016 Bago Vineyard (Wauchope, NSW) Tannat, to compare with their current release, Bago Vineyard Tannat 2014. All three wines were made in a lower alcohol (under 13%), less monstrous style, therefore while still deep in colour and highly aromatic, they are more approachable whilst young than the mainstream Tannat wines are. The two younger vintages were particularly excellent and will shine when released.”
