Discover the grape variety: Couderc 4401
Coloured, simple fruity reds with a light purple robe, soft tannins and an airy palate, showing undemanding aromas of red and black fruits. Productive. Marginal today, surviving in a few French varietal collections, it testifies to the history of post-phylloxera hybridisation. French black hybrid bred by Georges Couderc at the end of the 19th century, in the lineage of phylloxera-resistant crosses.

The wine region of North Island
New Zealand's North Island, warmer and more varied than the South Island. Bordeaux varieties and Pinot Noir as signatures. Merlot in Hawke's Bay as a supple red with notes of plum, ripe cherry, fresh herbs and a spicy touch, round tannins — blended with Cabernet and peppery Syrah. Fine Pinot Noir in Wairarapa/Martinborough (cherry, undergrowth).
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
