Est. 2019 · Brooklyn, New York
Tannin is a small natural-wine club. We work with twenty-three growers across France, Italy, and Portugal — visit each one twice a year, and ship six bottles every quarter with a long letter from the cellar.

The current cellar
Every bottle is poured by us, written up by us, and shipped by us. We don't pad the case with placeholders — if a grower's barrel doesn't taste right, we leave the slot empty.
Loire · Single
Cabernet Franc, gravel-fermented, eight months on lees.
Savagnin & chardonnay, disgorged on the equinox, 11.4% ABV.
Loureiro from a single 1.2-hectare plot, no sulfites added.
Old-vine nebbiolo, foot-trodden, raised in chestnut.
In the glass
A house wine isn't a brand decision. It's something you reach for after work, on a long Sunday, on the night the in-laws come over.
Tuesday, late
The Quinta Lourenço Branco is what we open when nothing's planned. Eleven percent, lemon-pith, and good cold from the door of the fridge. It doesn't ask anything of you.
Sunday, slow
Cabernet Franc and lentils. The Rouchet '23 holds up against everything braised, and the second day in the bottle is better than the first. Two bottles for four people, every time.
March, friends
The Cantina di Maja Rosso has been on our table for three years running. It changes — chestnut barrel, foot-trodden, sometimes wilder than last — but it's always the bottle we hand a stranger.
Most wine on a US shelf passes through three importers, two distributors, and a corrective additive list. We cut all of that.
From the cellar door
"The Hervé pet-nat ruined every other sparkling wine for me. The note card from the grower made it feel like a letter, not a delivery."
