Discover the grape variety: Fruhroter Veltliner
Structured and full dry whites with a pale, slightly rosé golden robe, an ample palate and moderate acidity, with signature aromas of almond, ripe yellow fruits (pear, peach, apricot), white flowers (acacia) and mineral notes. A sun-drenched profile appreciated in characterful artisanal cuvées. Grown mainly in Lower Austria (Kamptal, Wagram), rarer than Grüner Veltliner. Native Austrian grey grape, an early-ripening reddish-skinned mutation of Roter Veltliner.

The wine region of Madiran
South-West capital of age-worthy reds at the foot of the Pyrenees: signature Tannat as king red (60-80%) — black robe and powerful profile with notes of raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, spices, liquorice, undergrowth and a leather touch, signature dense and nervy tannins, firm structure and 10-30 years ageing softening to velvet. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as backup. AOC (1948) over Gers, Hautes-Pyrénées and Pyrénées-Atlantiques, clay-limestones and silico-clays.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Rootstock
American vine on which a French vine is grafted. This is the consequence of the phylloxera that destroyed the vineyard at the end of the 19th century: after much trial and error, it was discovered that the "pest" spared the roots of the American vines, and the technique became widespread.
