As its name suggests, it is exceptionally tannic, giving dark and powerful wines.
Associated with Madiran and other appellations in South-West France, its name is said to derive from tannin, the source of astringency. Taken to Uruguay, it became that country's signature grape and is often made in a somewhat more approachable style there. Plantings in Japan are very limited, but a few areas such as Iwate work with it, sometimes in blends with other varieties. Its strong tannin suits braised fatty meat and dishes with rich sauces.
Notes on aroma and taste describe general tendencies for this grape, not claims about any particular wine — the actual character depends on the producer and how it is made.
Statements of fact — origin, crossing, plant-variety registration and growing regions — have been checked against public bodies, research institutes, or the breeder (1 sources).
