TanTerra
TanTerra operates in San José, Uruguay, a region where Tannat thrives as the signature varietal. The winery's core expression is a pure Tannat, rated 84.0 by Wine Spectator—a wine that captures the grape's dark fruit intensity and structural grip. A Tannat-Syrah blend follows at 83.0, marrying Tannat's power with Syrah's spice and texture. A Tannat-Cabernet Sauvignon rounds the portfolio, blending two of the Southern Hemisphere's most compelling red varieties. Tannat, Uruguay's national grape, demands careful handling; in skilled hands it yields wines of depth and aging potential. TanTerra's focus on this varietal—both as a standalone and in partnership with complementary grapes—reflects the winery's commitment to exploring what the region and its signature fruit can express.
