Tannat
Tannat is a red wine grape variety known for producing bold, full-bodied wines with high tannin levels, which contribute to their firm structure and potential aging capability. Originally from southwest France, particularly the Madiran region, Tannat wines often showcase deep color, intense flavors of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, and earthy or spicy notes. While the tannins can taste robust and slightly bitter when young, they soften over time, revealing more complex characteristics. Tannat's powerful profile makes it a favorite among enthusiasts seeking wines with depth, character, and the ability to age gracefully.
