Discover the grape variety: Feunate
Light, simple fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby colour, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of southern red fruits. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, a witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-East and part of the heritage varieties under study. Rare French black variety, formerly grown in south-east France.

The wine region of Sta. Rita Hills
Sacred ground of cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (western tip of Santa Ynez, AVA 2001): signature Pinot Noir reigns (2,100 acres) with intense red and black fruit aromas, silky tannins and clean earth, white pepper and clove spices. Mineral, Chablis-like Chardonnay (500 acres), signature tension and freshness. Also Syrah, Barbera and Sauvignon Blanc. Marine corridors between the Purisima and Santa Rosa Hills, marine limestone soils, a Californian Burgundian identity.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Marc
Solid part resulting from the pressing of the grape (stalks, pips, skins).
