Discover the grape variety: Dobricic

From the island of Solta off the Dalmatian coast in Croatia. If in France it is almost unknown, in its country of origin it still benefits today from a rescue program. According to genetic analyses carried out in Davis (United States) by the California University, Dobricic is the father of Plavac Mali, the latter being a very well-known quality grape variety in Croatia and other countries.

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: Density per hectare

Number of vines per hectare. For the same yield, a vine planted with 3,000 vines per hectare bears many more bunches (per vine) than a vine planted with 10,000. The grapes will therefore be less rich in sugar and polyphenols (tannins, aromas...).
