Discover the grape variety: Thompson seedless
Very productive seedless table grape with long clusters and golden berries with thin skin and crunchy flesh, sweet and fresh flavour. Also used for raisins (sultanas), grape juice and vinification of neutral whites. Grown massively in California, Iran, Turkey, Australia and the Mediterranean, one of the most planted varieties in the world. American synonym for Sultanine, a historic white seedless variety of probable Turkish-Iranian origin.

The wine region of Gaillac
Millennia-old South-West mosaic (banks of the Tarn) with rare native grapes: Mauzac reigns in whites — dry, pearled or sweet with notes of apple, pear, honey and white flowers, signature freshness. Ample Loin-de-l'œil and Ondenc complement. Duras in spicy, peppery reds, fleshy Braucol (Fer Servadou) (blackcurrant, raspberry, blackberry, structured tannins) and Syrah in blends. Iconic ancestral-method Gaillac sparkling.
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: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
