Although native to the Pyrenees, Tannat thrives in Uruguay. In Canelones, family run Bodega Bouza only grows Tannat. Their 2021 vintage offers plenty of black fruit, tomato leaf, black olives, lively acidity and bold, chalky tannins. Weighty and densely textured - this is Tannat unleashed! Bring on the beef entrecôte.

Bouza: A Family’s Passion for Wine and Terroir

Bouza is a family-run winery, deeply rooted in a love for the land and its fruits. Guided by the belief that small-scale production leads to superior quality, we meticulously oversee every step of the winemaking process—from vineyard to glass. Using only estate-grown grapes, we produce between 180,000 and 200,000 bottles per year, focusing on high-quality wines that authentically reflect our terroir and each unique vintage.

Tannat: The Soul of Bouza’s Winemaking

Tannat, a variety native to the Pyrenees, thrives in Uruguay and has become our country's flagship grape. Known for its vibrant color, firm tannins, and lively acidity, Tannat yields powerful, structured red wines with excellent aging potential.

As the most widely planted variety in our vineyards, Tannat is at the heart of Bouza’s identity. We cultivate it across our five distinct vineyards, allowing us to showcase the unique characteristics of each terroir. This diversity results in wines with rich complexity and a true sense of place, offering an exciting exploration of Uruguay’s finest expression of Tannat.

Tasting
NOTES

Expressive nose with aromas of overt black fruit, ripe blackberry, tomato leaf and black olives. The palate is dry with lively acidity and bold chalky tannins. Weighty mid-palate, dense texture from high extraction, interesting violet notes, good freshness. True to the varietal the tannins are ever present but not overdone. This is a great wine for richer fare - this is Tannat unleashed but somehow tamed all at the same time!

Food
PAIRINGS

This bold Tannat can take strong flavours; grilled beef entrecôte, girolle mushrooms, pomme fondant and red wine échalote, or short ribs on the charcoal with a Peruvian style potato mousse.
