Red Wine Uruguayan Tannat – a Guide to This Fine Wine Its Benefits and Secrets
Gerardo Naon asked:
Tannat red wine produces wine tasting notes of red fruits and spices with an intense cherry red color and purplish tint.
Why the Uruguayan Tannat is different to the French Tannat wine?
The wine making process in Uruguay changed when the Tannat wine grape was introduced at the end of 19th century from Madiran, France since this type of wine was carefully developed and improved till today. Nowadays, Uruguay is the only wine Country of the world that produces important quantities of Tannat wine grapes.
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 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, softer than the French Tannat wine.
Uruguayan Tannat fine wine by itself or blended 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 richness of 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.
For a wine enthusiast, a food and wine pairing of a Tannat wine bottle is ideal with grilled and broiled red meats, lamb, chicken, and roast duck. In the wine and cheese area, the Tannat wine charm goes with strong and well matured cheeses.
As a general tasting note, Tannat red wine is best paired with strongly flavored dishes.

Wine for Beginners – Quench your Thirst for More Wine Knowledge
Amy Sloane asked:
Anyone with a love for wine can be considered a wine enthusiast with the proper knowledge of the history, process and basic principles of storing, serving and tasting. The fact that now anyone can pursue this hobby – not just the wealthy elite – means a need for some wine for beginners teaching. A true wine lover can’t get enough information about the world of wine – which makes this hobby one in which you can always find more.
There are many aspects to the wine hobby – and some take a more active interest in certain areas than others. Some wine enthusiasts are actively learning how to make their own wine from home, and having a great time during the learning process. Others don’t focus on the making of their own wines, instead focusing more on the art of acquiring and storing fine wines from around the world.
And, of course there are the wine enthusiasts who enjoy the process of wine tasting and learning about the wines from different regions. This is an art in itself, and there is always room for more learning. The more active wine enthusiasts will be involved to some degree in all areas of the wine lifestyle – from building their own wine cellars and making their own wines, to traveling all over the world to visit different wine regions and bringing back fine wines to collect.
Whatever your desire is, if you have an interest in pursuing this hobby, start with the basic wine for beginners information and continue growing your knowledge. The world of wine and the infinite possibilities means that you will most likely always have a thirst for more knowledge – it is a hobby that truly becomes a lifestyle. And, it is one that is worth pursuing!
