Round and fleshy reds with a velvety texture, showing aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, cocoa and truffle notes with age. Supple tannins, generous alcohol, indulgent finish. Pillar of Libournais (Pomerol with Pétrus, Saint-Émilion with Cheval Blanc and Ausone) and signature of Super Tuscans, Italian Wales and Washington State. A cross of Cabernet Franc × Magdeleine Noire, France's most planted red variety.
Karst plateau of western Slovenia near the Adriatic, iron-rich red "terra rossa" soils, windy coastal climate (bora). Refosk signature red (mutation of Refosco): intense and vibrant with notes of sour cherry, cranberry, blackberry, mineral iron and a hint of herbs — cutting acidity, called Teran exclusively in Slovenia (EU). Taut and saline Vitovska and floral Malvasia istriana in marine whites. Upright reds with unique ferruginous character.
