Opulent, heady whites, rich and silky, with intense aromas of apricot, yellow peach, mango, violet, honeysuckle and musky, honeyed notes. Discreet acidity, creamy finish. Star of Condrieu AOC and Château-Grillet AOC, co-vinified in Côte-Rôtie with Syrah (up to 20%). Widely exported to California (Central Coast), Australia (Eden Valley) and Languedoc. A Rhône variety.
Region in south-west Uruguay facing Argentina on the Rio de la Plata, clay-limestone soils, temperate Atlantic climate. Tannat reigns in red (national grape introduced by Basques in the 19th century): more elegant and silky Uruguayan version than Madiran — blackberry, black cherry, plum, earth, herbs, chalk, cocoa, tobacco, liquorice, round and melted tannins. Remarkable Viognier (apricot, peach, white flowers). Firm Cabernet Sauvignon.
