Tannat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tannat is a red wine grape, predominantly grown in southern France.
It is predominantly used to make Cahors AOC and Madiran AOC wines, giving them high levels of tannin and a high alcohol level, and the ability to age very well. It is also used to make Armagnac.
Rosé wines are also made from it; these are usually very full bodied.
It is also grown in Uruguay, Argentina and Australia.
