The Tannat is a red grape variety known for its exceptionally high tannin content, as its name suggests. It originates from the Basque Country and is primarily cultivated in regions of Southwestern France and South America. In our country, it can be found in Amyntaio and the Peloponnese.
It is a productive plant, sensitive to diseases, and has a medium ripening period. Its intense tannins dictate the timing of the harvest, as their proper ripeness is a crucial factor for the quality of the wines produced. The use of barrels positively influences the wine, as it tames their bold character.
