Discover the grape variety: Calitor
Calitor is a black grape variety of Provençal origin that is not widely grown in France. It is only cultivated on a little more than a hundred hectares in total. The main characteristic of this variety is its bent stalk. Its adult leaves have 5 lobes and angular teeth. The leaf blade is both pubescent and downy. The young leaves have a pinkish tinge, especially in autumn. They are also downy. The tip of the calitor branch is cottony. Calitor is a recommended grape variety in the departments of Vaucluse and Var and is authorized in others such as Gard, Drôme and Ardèche. It has two variants, namely the grey calitor and the white calitor. The calitor is matured only 35 days after the chasselas but it is very productive. It appreciates hot and dry soils. This variety is resistant to oidium, but it remains sensitive to grey rot and mildew. Calitor produces a light, low-alcohol wine with little colour.

The wine region of Burgenland
Burgenland is a large wine-producing region on the eastern border of Austria. Despite the country's image as the producer of some of the world's finest white wines, Austria is also home to a thriving red wine culture: Burgenland, with its sunny, continental summers, is the country's key red wine region, with its wines based mainly on the Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt grape varieties. Sweet, botrytized wines are also a specialty of the region, particularly in the Terroir surrounding the Neusiedlersee lake. The region occupies a narrow strip of land that runs from the Danube River down to Steiermark in the South.
The wine region of Weinland
Weinviertel DAC – whose name translates as "wine quarter" – is an appellation in Niederösterreich (Lower Austria). It is by far the largest Districtus Austriae Controllatus wine region in Austria. It was also the first Austrian wine region to be given that title, in 2002, with a DAC Reserve designation added in 2009. The designation applies only to white wines from the Grüner Veltliner Grape variety.
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.
