Details and technical informations about Domaine Tourbillon's Rouge.
Discover the grape variety: Azal Branco
Lively, light whites best enjoyed young, with a pale golden robe, a nervy palate with very pronounced acidity, and signature aromas of citrus (lemon), green apple, white flowers and fresh herbal notes. A traditional component of Vinho Verde DOC blends (Amarante, Baião, Basto), contributing freshness and slight pétillance to the whites of northwest Portugal. White-skinned mutation of the Azal, autochthonous Portuguese grape from the Minho.

The wine region of Vaucluse
Vast southern IGP between Ventoux, Luberon and the Rhône: signature Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre as fruity, sun-drenched reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, garrigue (thyme, rosemary), Mediterranean spices and a peppery touch, supple tannins and a moreish finish. Cinsault and Carignan in support. Signature fresh rosés (strawberry, citrus). Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Clairette in whites.
The wine region of Méditerranée
Vast IGP of south-east France (Provence, Vaucluse, Var, Corsica, Ardèche), 75% rosés. Fresh, fruity rosés with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, citrus, white flowers and a Mediterranean touch, taut and thirst-quenching on the palate — the quintessential sunny aperitif. Supple reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot (red fruits, garrigue, spice), full whites of Viognier (apricot, flowers) and Chardonnay. Generous everyday wines, expression of the south.
The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
