Discover the grape variety: Prunelard

Structured, colourful reds with a dark ruby hue, firm tannins and a dense palate, with signature aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), plum, sloe (hence its name), black cherry, spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Once nearly extinct, rediscovered and preserved for its genetic value: biological parent of malbec. Grown by a handful of Gaillac winemakers in Gaillac AOC. Native French variety from the South-West, ancestral identity.

The wine region of Heathcote

Sanctuary of Australian Shiraz north of Melbourne (Victoria): emblematic signature king red on the rare Cambrian soils (red Greenstones of Mt Camel Range, 500+ million years) — powerful and deep with notes of blackberry, plum, chocolate, spice, black pepper and a leather-earth touch, sturdy tannins and a long finish. Structured Cabernet and spicy Grenache as complement. Continental climate with hot days and cool nights, mineral red soils with excellent water retention.


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: Vintage (champagne)

It is a champagne made from a single harvest. In principle, we only vintage the great years: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996... We find more often, now, the very good 2002, and the 2004, a little short.
