Wine zone of northern Uruguay (Rivera department, Brazilian border), ancient red sandy soils with exceptional drainage. Tannat is the signature red (half of all vines, old stocks up to 40 years): deep and concentrated with intense notes of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, leather, cocoa and a spicy touch, firm tannins yet less austere than in Canelones thanks to the sand, generous flesh. Iconic cuvée Batoví T1 is the terroir benchmark.

Tannat is a red grape variety from Béarn which belongs to the cotoïdes family. Present in several vineyards of France, it occupies nearly 3,000 ha. Its leaves are reddish with tan patches. Its bunches are either of normal size or larger. Its berries have a thin skin and are rounded. Its foliage has a swarthy appearance. This variety must be pruned long because it is vigorous. It likes sandy and gravelly soils. Tannat is often exposed to leafhoppers and mites. It is also somewhat susceptible to grey rot. It has 11 approved clones, including 474, 717 and 794. Once mature, this variety produces acidic, fruity, tannic, acidic and full-bodied wines. Various aromas emerge, notably tobacco, cinnamon and exotic wood. Tannat is rarely used alone. It is combined with iron-servadou to obtain a fruitier taste or with cabernet sauvignon to be more rounded.
