Modern winemaking in the region has begun to emphasize the fruit more and use oak aging to help soften the tannins. The wine is notable for its very high tannin levels and is often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet franc and Fer to soften the astringency and make it more approachable. Hilgard imported the Tannat vine from Southwest France and began to grow it in the university's vineyards. In 1990, Madiran winemaker Patrick Ducournau experimented with adding controlled amounts of oxygen aeration into Tannat while fermenting and ended up developing the modern winemaking process of micro-oxygenation.
