Light, simple reds with a pale ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate, with modest red fruit aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value; bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of French vineyards. Rare French black grape, once grown in the centre-east.

Cradle of Port: opulent fortified wine with notes of candied black fruit, cocoa, fig, walnut and spice, from young fruity Ruby to oxidative amber Tawny, plus age-worthy LBV and Vintage of exceptional cellaring. Also great dry Douro DOC reds, structured and deep (violet, black-fruited Touriga Nacional, elegant Touriga Franca, spicy Tinta Roriz). A few fresh Douro whites. Terraced vineyards (~40,000 ha) UNESCO on schist.

Supple Touriga Franca and spicy Tinta Roriz as complement. Fresh mineral whites and creative modern sparkling.
