Discover the grape variety: Roi des noirs
Interspecific crossing between 29 Seibel (70 jeager x Vitis Vinifera unknown) and the danugue made by Eugène Contassot, who would have given the seeds of the harvested grapes to Albert Seibel (1844-1936). The King of the Blacks has been widely cultivated, particularly in southwestern France and in the center-west, where we have found and photographed it. It was used several times as a sire by Albert Seibel, rubilande or 11803 Seibel is a good example.

The wine region of Victoria
Victoria is a relatively small but important Australian wine state. Located in the Southeastern corner of the continent, with a generally cool, ocean-influenced Climate, Victorian wine is remarkably diverse, producing all sorts of wines and styles in different climates. In all, the state covers almost 250,000 square kilometres (over 90,000 square miles) of land (almost the same Size as the US state of Texas), well under a quarter the size of its western neighbour, South Australia, and less than a third the size of New South Wales to the North. As such, Victoria's size - and to some extent, the state's viticultural history - can defy generalization.
The word of the wine: Tank
Made of concrete, stainless steel, enamelled steel or wood (now fashionable again), the vat is an indispensable tool during the entire winemaking process. It is also used to mature certain wines that do not need to go into barrel, or to preserve them.
