This is a re-discovered grape variety that disappeared during the days of phylloxera. Defined black fruit – blackberries, currants and plums. It is only 11.4% ABV with a juicy and spicy mid-palate finish. If you are looking for something different, this is novel, eclectic and exciting.

Plaimont Terroirs et Chateaux
As Caves Co-operatives come, they don’t come any better than Plaimont. It has the bigger picture of Saint Mont AOC and Gascony at heart, representing 800 growers and 10 chateaux including Chateau St. Go and Chateau Crouseilles. Everything they do, under the watchful eye of Head Winemaker Christine Cabri, they do well. They have revived rare and lost local grape varieties making the region one of discovery, again. The Cave produces a range of high quality whites and reds from the Saint Mont and Madiran AOCs. It also produces new and interesting IGP whites.
