Tannat

A rustic variety most famous for its inclusion in the wines of Madiran, a region just south of Bordeaux. The wines produced from this varietal are heavy with red fruits and extremely tannic, and often need a either several months of oak aging or another grape blended in to tame their fiery astringency. Imported to Uruguay with Basque settlers, Tannat has become the most important black varietal there, going by the name Harriague.
