Light, elegant reds with a clear ruby colour, soft tannins and an airy palate with preserved acidity, showing signature aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), gentle spices and Iberian floral notes. Often blended in Douro reds, also contributing to lighter Port wines and Galician reds (DO Rías Baixas). Native black variety from the Douro and Trás-os-Montes in Portugal, also known as Brancellao in neighbouring Galicia.

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: Overmaturation

When the grapes reach maturity, the skin becomes permeable and progressively loses water, which causes a concentration phenomenon inside the berry. This is called over-ripening or passerillage.
