Details and technical informations about Fainting Goat Vineyards & Winery's Constitution.
Discover the grape variety: Onchette
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity. Understated aromas of citrus, white flowers and herbaceous notes from the South-West. Rustic, airy profile, best drunk young. Preserved in INRAE variety collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is studied as a heritage grape. Rare French white grape, once cultivated in the South-West, now nearly extinct.

The wine region of Georgia
Historic cradle of the vine (8,000 years, UNESCO), 500+ native grapes. Signature Saperavi as a teinturier red: dense, deep reds with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, liquorice, leather, spices and a smoky touch, firm tannins and lively acidity - great ageing. Rkatsiteli in white (~45%), lively and structured (citrus, apricot, honey). The millennia-old qvevri tradition (buried jars): "ambers" on skins with notes of dried fruits, walnut, black tea.
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
