Discover the grape variety: Bourrisquou
A very old grape variety cultivated in the Ardèche, almost unknown in other French wine regions and even less so in other countries. Its origin seems to be Spanish, as are its presumed parents. It is said to be the result of a natural intra-specific crossing between the heben or white gibi and the mourvèdre. Today, it is practically no longer multiplied and is therefore in danger of extinction.

The wine region of Tejo
Tejo is a wine region in CentralPortugal which covers the same area as the Ribatejo province, just inland from the major city of Lisbon. The wine appellation's name was changed from Ribatejo in 2009. The entire region may use the Tejo VR (Vinho Regional) designation, similar to the French IGP/Vin de Pays, while some areas produce wines labeled with the higher-level Do Tejo DOC (Denominação de Origem Controlada). A Warm, Dry area, it is also Portugal's only landlocked region – although it is influenced considerably by the Tejo river.
The word of the wine: Pruine
A thin, fluffy film that covers the surface of the grape. It makes the berry impermeable and contains the indigenous yeasts necessary for the fermentation of the must.
