Discover the grape variety: Perle de Csaba
It is thought to have originated in Hungary, as Adolf Stark, a winegrower in Bekescsaba (Hungary), created it in 1904. According to genetic analyses, it is the result of a cross between the Madeleine angevine and the Muscat fleur d'oranger. The Csaba pearl has been used to obtain a few crosses (the red Csaba pearl is an example), the aim always being to try to find new varieties with early maturity. Today, it is only found in ornamental gardens, interesting only for its great earliness. Its many defects mean that it is almost on the verge of extinction, although it is included in the official catalogue of vine varieties on the A1 list.

The wine region of Côtes de Bordeaux
The Côtes de Bordeaux appellation was created in 2009 to merge four existing appellations used in the Bordeaux region of France. These four appellations are The Premières Côtes de Blaye, Côtes de Castillon, Côtes de Francs and the red wines of the Cadillac region. The latter were previously under the appellation Premières Côtes de Bordeaux. The changes were a commercially motivated decision, intended to create unity between these important but lesser known appellations.
The wine region of Bordeaux
Bordeaux, in southwestern France, is one of the most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions in the world. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90% of the production Volume) are the Dry, medium and Full-bodied red Bordeaux blends for which it is famous. The finest (and most expensive) are the wines of the great châteaux of Haut-Médoc and the right bank appellations of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The former focuses (at the highest level) on Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter on Merlot.
The word of the wine: Rafle (taste of)
A taste considered a defect, characterized by an unpleasant astringency and bitterness, brought by the stalk during the vinification process. In order to avoid it, destemming before vinification is a common practice.
