Tannat

Tannat is a bold red grape variety originally from southwest France, known for its deep colour, firm tannins, and excellent ageing potential. In Australia, Tannat is gaining attention for its ability to thrive in warm climates, producing structured wines with flavours of blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, and spice. Its high tannin content gives it a robust mouthfeel, making it a great candidate for cellaring and a strong partner for rich, hearty dishes.

Australian winemakers are exploring Tannat both as a single varietal and in blends, where it adds depth and complexity. While traditionally known for its powerful and rustic character, modern Australian expressions often showcase a more refined style, with winemaking techniques softening the tannins to create a balanced, food-friendly wine.
