Discover the grape variety: Couderc

Simple, colourful and fruity reds with a deep ruby colour, supple tannins and a light palate with moderate acidity, showing aromas of red fruits and discreet hybrid notes. Productive and resistant to phylloxera. Now marginal, it survives in a few heritage plots and French ampelographic collections, a witness to post-phylloxera hybridisation. French black hybrid variety obtained by Georges Couderc at the end of the 19th century.

Four styles: young fruity Ruby (cherry, blackberry), Tawny aged oxidatively in cask (caramel, hazelnut, bitter orange), age-worthy LBV and Vintage, White as aperitif. Grapes: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz.
