Leathery taste in wine is closely related to tannin. During the brewing process, wine usually contains some bacteria that die due to alcoholic fermentation, and in red wine that combines tannin and protein, it is easy to produce leathery taste. Especially rich tannins, mature wines that have been aged in oak barrels and then bottled will have a more leathery taste. Also, wines from more temperate climates, such as those from the south of France, are more likely to smell of leather. Usually red grape varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and other full-bodied red wines, may have this kind of taste, and the Cabernet Sauvignon grape is the most obvious.
