Details and technical informations about Winery Hardys's Nottage Hill Sauvignon Blanc.
Discover the grape variety: Courbu
Courbu is indigenous to the Pyrenean vineyards. This white grape variety is part of the Jurançon family. Three clones are recognized in this variety, which buds in the medium term, develops regularly and has satisfactory productivity. The way in which the shoots form is characteristic. Initially upright, they bend and curve, giving a parasol-like finish to the vine. A vigorous rootstock is recommended to see the Courbu develop and mature at a late age. The small clusters display quite distinctive features. Not necessarily winged, they are pignate and stocky, with a rounded or rather flattened shape. A light pink veil covers the most mature berries, but the original colour varies from yellow-green to golden white. Vinification enhances the juice of this variety. The bouquet becomes more refined with age under a pale yellow colour. Dry or sweet, this wine is always remarkably fine.

The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
