Discover the grape variety: Oeillade blanche
Simple, dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet southern rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, bearing witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the southern vineyard. Rare French white grape, formerly grown in Provence and the south-east.

The wine region of Napareuli
Georgian PDO in northern Kakheti, left bank of the Alazani River at the foot of the Greater Caucasus (400–700 m). Saperavi is the signature indigenous red — deep near-black colour with intense notes of blackberry, black cherry, plum, spices, tobacco and a mineral-smoky touch, firm tannins and superb structure. Rkatsiteli (≥85%) as white benchmark — taut with yellow fruits, citrus, white flowers and a spiced touch, sometimes aged in amber qvevri. Kakhuri Mtsvane as complement.
The wine region of Kakheti
Cradle of amber and orange wines, vinified in qvevri (buried clay jars, UNESCO). Skin-macerated Rkatsiteli whites: signature notes of dried apricot, walnut, honey, orange peel and black tea, fine tannins and controlled oxidation. Deep, tinctorial Saperavi reds with black fruit, plum, spice and firm tannins, age-worthy. Also Mtsvane and Kisi in white, fresh and floral.
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
