Why the Uruguayan Tannat is different to the French Tannat wine?
The wine making process in Uruguay, South America changed when the Tannat wine grape was introduced at the end of 19th century from the South West of France, a wine region called Madiran, since then this type of wine was carefully developed and improved till today. Nowadays, with more than 100 years old since they were introduced, Uruguay is the only wine Country of the world that produces important quantities of Tannat wine grapes. This type of grape has thick black skins, giving with its body and the richness of tannins a Tannic red wine from which the wine takes its name, Tannat.
In the natural process of the red wine maturing a micro-oxygenation technique is a complement to soften Tannat red wines with special results. The micro-oxygenation introduces a certain amount of oxygen into the wine, in a controlled way, giving a balance in the tannins of the Tannat red wines. The result is a varietal Uruguayan Tannat red wine with its own personality; its mouth is potent with a finishing long and pleasant softer, than the French Tannat wine.
Uruguayan Tannat fine wine by itself or blended allowing stylish combinations with other red wines like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Shiraz allows fine wines where the Tannat contributes with its robust style, body and the importance of the tannins.
The benefits of drinking red wine for the health are well known but they are increased, in an important way, with the Tannat red wines. If you drink with moderation a Tannat red wine you obtain, derived from the Tannat grapes, a high concentration of tannins and polyphenols that help to protect your heart health and blood vessels from damaging deposits.
With investment and implementation through state of the art winemaking technologies, the Tannat wines are also matured in French and American oak barrels to obtain reserve Tannat wines. The results are aged red wines with a complex and solid structure.
For a wine enthusiast, a food and wine pairing of a Tannat wine bottle is ideal with grilled and broiled beef red meats, lamb, chicken, roast duck, game meats and goulashes. In the wine and cheese area, the Tannat wine charm goes with strong, well matured and blue cheeses, like Veined, Parmesan and Blooming Rind Cheese.
As a general tasting note, Tannat red wine is best paired with strongly flavored dishes and the ideal serving temperature for consumption is 18 to 20ºC (64 to 68ºF).
