These are old grape varieties brought back to the forefront. Grain de Lune, this poetic name also defines the qualities of the grapes that make up this range.
Location
Bordeaux is the largest vineyard for appellation wines in the whole of France. Situated in the South West near the Atlantic, it is crossed by the rivers Garonne and Dordogne and enjoys a temperate maritime climate. The richness, the quality and the diversity of its wines derive from the particular character of the terroirs, the experience of the winegrowers and the art of blending. The tide, which flows up both of the region's rivers, brings very specific characteristics to the wines. With its huge size, Bordeaux reds offer an infinite palette of flavours and combine their qualities in myriad different ways.
Winemaking
Techniques that emphasise the richness of Bordeaux red wines while subduing tannins are employed. The wine is aged with minimal oak influence to make a feature of the unique characteristics of this awesome varietal.
