This grape variety from the South of France has almost disappeared in the last century. Being rediscovered, it is now coming into fashion. Very suitable to stony and dry soils, it produces very fine and high-quality white wines.
Originally from Spain, this grape variety was introduced in France by the pilgrims from Santiago de Compostela. It produces powerful red wines and silky rosé wines, smooth and sweet to the palate.
One of the most popular wines in the world is produced from this grape variety. Traditionally used in the Bordeaux region, its qualities have allowed it to reach vineyards worldwide, bringing roundness and supple tannins.
