Tannat - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

The variety was first mentioned in documents in 1783 under the name Tanat in the French département of Hautes-Pyrénées, which is why this can be assumed to be the probable area of origin.

Ancestry

The ancestry (parentage) is unknown. According to DNA analyses, there is possibly a parent-offspring relationship with the Manseng Noir variety. Tannat was a crossing partner in the four new varieties Achemoyeta, Arinarnoa, Artzebat and Ekigaïna. It is also a parent of the variety Négret de Banhars, which was created by natural crossbreeding. There is also a light berried variety called Tannat Gris.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
