Discover the grape variety: Etraire de la Dui

Etraire de la Dui is a black grape variety, originating from the department of Isère. It is so similar to the Persian that many people have difficulty differentiating between them. This resemblance has earned it the nickname "gros persan". This grape variety is now in danger of extinction. It is only cultivated on 10ha. The leaves of the Dui are large and have convex teeth. Its bunches and berries are generally large. A vigorous variety, it is quite productive and prefers a short pruning. This plant appreciates deep, clay-limestone soils. With an average budburst, it reaches maturity in the second half of the year. It fears winter frosts and is susceptible to shattering, especially when fully ripe. On the other hand, it defends itself well against powdery mildew and grey rot. This variety produces concentrated, colorful and tannic wines. Some of them are astringent when the grape variety is too ripe.

The wine region of Limestone Coast

The Limestone Coast GI (Geographical Indication) in SouthAustralia is located in the southeast corner of the state, bordering Victoria in the east. It is one of the most significant region of the country, producing nearly one-third of South Australia's quality wines – some of which are the most highly acclaimed in Australia. The zone is regarded as geologically unique and the feature responsible for producing such high-quality wines is its soil. As the name suggests, limestone forms the basis of the soil here, best represented by the famous 'terra rossa' of Coonawarra.


The wine region of Australie du Sud

SouthAustralia is one of Australia's six states, located (as the name suggests) in the south of the vast island continent. It's the engine room of the Australian wine industry, responsible for about half of the country's total production each year. But there's more to the region than quantity - countless high-quality wines are produced here, most from the region's signature Grape, Shiraz. These include such fine, collectible wines as Penfolds Grange, Henschke Hill of Grace, Torbreck The Laird and d'Arenberg The Dead Arm.

The word of the wine: Farm

Wine dominated by a strong acidity and/or biting tannins. In this case, the components of the wine need to melt, i.e. to harmonize during the maturation in the cellar.
