Opulent, heady whites, rich and silky, with intense aromas of apricot, yellow peach, mango, violet, honeysuckle and musky, honeyed notes. Discreet acidity, creamy finish. Star of Condrieu AOC and Château-Grillet AOC, co-vinified in Côte-Rôtie with Syrah (up to 20%). Widely exported to California (Central Coast), Australia (Eden Valley) and Languedoc. A Rhône variety.
Sub-region of Canelones (Uruguay) north of Montevideo (around Juanicó), world capital of Tannat, more densely planted here than in its native Madiran. Tannat is the signature red: intense and structured with blackberry, black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, spices and a balsamic touch, powerful tannins and vibrant acidity, capable of very long ageing. Supple Merlot and firm Cabernet Sauvignon complement. Estates: Pisano, Viña Progreso, Bouza.
