A natural astringent, acidic compound that has a drying, puckering effect on the palate. In reference to wine making, tannins are derived from the seed, skins, and stems of grapes. Tannin content is imperative in the preservation/aging of wine. Tannin is most prominent in red wines and mellows with the aging process.
