BENEATH THE OAKS WINERY, TANNAT

Tannat from Beneath the Oaks Winery offers a rich, structured experience with its naturally robust character. As a red grape known for its firm tannins and deep color, Tannat is both classic in Madiran, where it produces powerful wines often blended with other varieties like Cabernet Franc or Sauvignon, and gaining new expressions in Uruguay, where maritime influences lead to more fruit-forward styles while preserving the dark core. Expect full-bodied flavors of blackberry, black plum, cassis, along with savory notes like licorice, smoke, cocoa, and earthy spice, supported by high acidity and moderate tannin. While it can be robust, Beneath the Oaks Winery's Tannat is balanced and approachable, ideal for pairing with grilled meats and other hearty dishes that can absorb its structure.
