Lively, fresh whites to drink young, with a pale golden colour, an airy palate with preserved acidity, and signature aromas of pronounced citrus (lemon), green apple and fresh herbal notes. Tense, thirst-quenching profile. Occasionally used in local blends of the Vinho Verde DOC, it is a heritage witness of the ancient grape varieties of the Minho. Rare Portuguese white variety from the Paiva sub-region.

The wine region of Pyrenees
Cool-climate GI of western Victoria (Australia, 2000): signature Shiraz as red king — rich and full-bodied with hallmark notes of blackberry, plum, black cherry, pepper, liquorice, dark chocolate and a violet floral touch, velvety finish. Structured Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, tobacco and earthy-herbal nuances, firm tannins and good ageing. Dominant reds (~73%), dry sunny climate tempered by cool nights, varied soils bordering the eponymous range.
The wine region of Victoria
Australian diversity from cool to temperate climate. Yarra Valley and Mornington: fine, silky Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry, undergrowth), taut, mineral Chardonnay. Heathcote: structured Shiraz with black fruits, pepper and chocolate. Rutherglen, fortified capital: opulent sweet Topaque and Muscat (raisin, caramel, fig, roast notes).
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
