Grape: Tannat

Tasting Notes: Blackberry, Plum, Coffee, Vanilla

What Malbec is to Argentina, Tannant is to Uruguay, its national grape.  In Southwest France where this grape originates, the wine is full-bodied with considerable tannins, and sometimes blended with other grapes to soften.  In Uruguay, the climate is cooler due to the Atlantic.  With a longer growing season Tannant from Uruguay is fleshier and  more velvety.  Enjoy this wine with strong cheese, grilled meats or duck.
