Light, fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate with preserved acidity on red fruit (cherry, raspberry) and Mediterranean spices from the Nice terroir. Airy profile. Blended into Bellet AOC wines, contributing to the unique identity of Nice wines alongside Folle Noire and Braquet. No kinship with Piedmontese Brachetto. Autochthonous black Provençal variety from the Alpes-Maritimes.

The wine region of Stellenbosch
Showcase of the South African vineyard: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as king red — structured and age-worthy with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a menthol touch, firm tannins. Emblematic national Pinotage (created 1925) opulent and smoky (blackberry, coffee, leather). Fleshy Shiraz, supple Merlot as complement. Vibrant Chenin Blanc, ample Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon in whites.
The wine region of Western Cape
Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet. Sharp, iodised Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay, Constantia), balanced Chardonnay. Reds: emblematic Pinotage with roasted aromas (coffee, plum, smoke), firm Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Syrah.
