Discover the grape variety: Vilana
Dry, vivid and fresh whites with a pale golden robe, slender mouthfeel and preserved acidity, with delicate aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, pear, white flowers, Mediterranean herbs and saline mineral notes. Thirst-quenching profile and aromatic finesse. Star of Peza PDO in central Crete (Heraklion), often blended with Vidiano and Thrapsathiri. An autochthonous Greek Cretan variety, signature of easy-drinking island whites and the viticultural revival of Crete.

The wine region of Limestone Coast
Cool-climate GI of south-eastern Australia, red terra rossa over white limestone. Coonawarra's signature Cabernet Sauvignon: classic reds with signature notes of pure blackcurrant, eucalyptus, fresh mint, cedar and graphite, firm tannins and long ageing potential — a world benchmark. Also spicy peppery Shiraz, round Merlot. Precise Chardonnay whites (citrus, hazelnut), taut Riesling (lemon, kerosene).
The wine region of Australie du Sud
Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.
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...).
