Details and technical informations about Winery Fourtanier's Alicante.
Discover the grape variety: Ribol
Light, simple, fruity reds with a pale ruby robe, silky tannins and an airy, moderately acidic palate, with undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. A discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, Ribol is an ancient variety whose commercial cultivation has almost vanished; it is studied for its genetic interest. A rare black grape, poorly documented, grown in negligible quantities.

The wine region of Aude
Vast Languedoc IGP covering the entire department: signature Syrah and Grenache as king reds — fruity and sun-drenched with cherry, blackberry, raspberry, garrigue, Mediterranean spices and a peppery touch, supple tannins. Carignan, Mourvèdre, Merlot and Cabernet as backup. Fresh, aromatic whites from Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon and Muscat (citrus, exotic fruits, flowers). Tender rosés.
The wine region of Pays d'Oc
The single-grape IGP par excellence: modern, accessible, frank and fruity wines, the popular signature of the Midi. Spicy Syrah reds (pepper, blackberry), round Merlot, structured Cabernet, generous Grenache, supple Cinsault. Crisp, tangy rosés. Opulent Chardonnay whites, lively Sauvignon, floral, apricoty Viognier.
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.
