Tannat red wine produces wine tasting notes of red fruits and spices with an intense cherry red color and purplish tint.
Why the Uruguayan Tannat is different to the French Tannat wine? The
wine making process in Uruguay changed when the Tannat wine grape was
introduced at the end of 19th century from Madiran, France since this
type of wine was carefully developed and improved till today. Nowadays,
Uruguay is the only wine Country of the world that produces important
quantities of Tannat wine grapes.
In the natural process of the
red wine maturing a micro-oxygenation technique is a complement to
soften Tannat red wines with special results. The micro-oxygenation
introduces oxygen into the wine, in a controlled way, giving a balance
in the tannins of the Tannat red wines. The result is a varietal
Uruguayan Tannat red wine with its own personality, softer than the
French Tannat wine.
Uruguayan Tannat fine wine by itself or
blended with other red wines like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet
Franc and Shiraz allows fine wines where the Tannat contributes with its
robust style, body and richness of tannins. The benefits of
drinking red wine for the health are well known but they are increased,
in an important way, with the Tannat red wines. If you drink with
moderation a Tannat red wine you obtain, derived from the Tannat grapes,
a high concentration of tannins and polyphenols that help to protect
your heart health and blood vessels.
For a wine enthusiast, a food
and wine pairing of a Tannat wine bottle is ideal with grilled and
broiled red meats, lamb, chicken, and roast duck. In the wine and cheese
area, the Tannat wine charm goes with strong and well matured cheeses.
As a general tasting note, Tannat red wine is best paired with strongly flavored dishes.Discover the fine wines from Uruguay
