Discover the grape variety: Négret castrais

The négret castrais is called mauzac noir. It is in the region of Toulouse that we find this variety doomed to disappear. Its origins are to be found in the Gaillac region, where it reaches maturity during the second period. The plant likes clay-limestone soils. It can be recognized by its late buds. Its bunches have short peduncles bearing compact, truncated cone-shaped loads. They are often winged and loaded with medium-sized berries. The pulp is covered with a thick skin whose colour is more or less red depending on the sun exposure of the bunch. Worms, excoliosis and powdery mildew are the main enemies of this variety. When vinified, Castres Negret gives off a fairly good character from its mauzac stock. The wine gives off notes of vanilla, apple, pear and jasmine. The juice is not very colourful and light in the mouth.

The wine region of Algarve

Algarve ('the Algarve' to most English speakers) is the southernmost wine region of Portugal, and the far southwestern corner of the Iberian Peninsula. It is more widely known for its beaches and thriving tourist industry than its wines. Although a small quantity of fresh-styled white wines are made here, the wines of the Algarve are predominantly red, and made from classic Portuguese varieties like Castelão and Touriga Nacional, as well as more international varieties like Grape/syrah">Syrah. The region's wines are produced largely by a by a small number of upscale co-operatives, although the fashion for independent producers is catching on quickly.
