Fact:
Tannin is an acid found in the seeds, skins and stems of grapes.
A white wine can have tannin but it is usually associated reds.
It adds a little texture, taste and lots of body to a wine.
The level of tannin in a wine can be measured when you taste the wine and is reflected by how much that dry, puckery feeling at the back of your mouth comes forward to the tip of your tongue. The further forward the more tannic the wine
