Wine writer, Stacy Slinkard, had the opportunity to speak with winemakers about Tannat, and here’s what she found out. Tannat’s resistant nature — able to handle heavy rain and drought, while always delivering acidity, colour and aroma — meant it survived throughout the 20th century, always adding value to a grower’s vineyard, even alongside the busty hybrid varieties that were popular throughout much of the 20th century. It has remained a staple in Uruguay’s vineyards ever since Pascual Harraigue first introduced it to the country in the 1870s (and is still often called Harriague after its pioneer).It’s possible to make lighter styles of Tannat varietal wines, too.
