Chameleon whites with taut acidity, ranging from mineral dry (Savennières, Vouvray sec) to off-dry and medium-sweet (Vouvray, Montlouis), sumptuous botrytised sweet (Quarts-de-Chaume, Bonnezeaux, Coteaux du Layon) and brilliant sparkling (Crémant de Loire, Vouvray brut). Aromas of quince, apple, honey, white flowers, beeswax and flint. An Anjou variety, also star of South Africa's Western Cape.
Unique tropical Thai vineyard on the Chao Phraya delta, vines planted on rectangular islets separated by canoe canals. Tropical climate allows two harvests a year. Malaga Blanc is the local white signature: aromatic with fresh grape, flowers, citrus and a musky hint. Pokdum (local mutation) produces a supple red with red fruits and spice.
