Discover the grape variety: Tinta Cão
Structured and elegant reds for ageing, with a deep ruby colour, firm tannins, an ample palate with preserved acidity, and signature aromas of red and black fruits (cherry, blackberry), spices, flowers (violet) and refined floral notes. Very late-ripening and low-yielding but high-quality. An essential component of the great Porto Vintage DOC and Douro DOC for ageing, one of the five classic Port varieties, with a strong aromatic identity. Native Portuguese black variety from the Douro.

The wine region of Vin de France
The freest category of French wine, the playground of winemakers working outside the AOC. All styles combined: fruity reds, lively or ambitious whites, everyday rosés, unusual blends, natural wines, atypical grapes (Petit Manseng in Languedoc, Riesling in Provence), experimental winemaking (skin-contact whites, no sulphur). Grape and vintage labelling allowed, no geographic constraint. From the pop, convivial cuvée to the artisan gem: freedom in a bottle.
The word of the wine: Empyreumatic
Families of smells and aromas related to smoke, burnt, and more generally to roasting.
