    Chateau Grande Maison, France
    In the heart of Monbazillac, on a hill overlooking the banks of the Dordogne and the historic town of Bergerac. The organic wines of exception of Chateau Grande Maison have been produced for decades. The thirteenth century fortified house has a unique environnement: Overall exposure is south facing on more or less accentuated hills. The lake at the heart of the property offers an exceptional asset to promote botrytis, the fungus that creates the uniqueness and richness of Monbazillac. The soil is clay-limestone whit silica in place that gives a certain acidity. With quality as the overarching objective, the entire production is subject to the rules of organic farming and the biodynamic method, allowing ourwines to express their character and the best of this region. Of the 14 hectares of vineyards that make up the estate, 10 hectares are white (60% Semillon, 25% Sauvignon and 15% Muscadelle) and 4 are red (Merlot 90%, Cabernet Franc 10%). For Monbazillac the grapes are harvested manually over several picks with multiple passes through the same vineyard. The maturation of the wines is partly in stainless steel vats but mostly in oak barrels. Our attention to vineyard and cellar work makes great wines with long aging potential."

    Apart from the classics, we find many regional gems of different styles.

    Late harvest wines are probably the easiest to understand. Grapes are picked so late that the sugars build up and residual sugar remains after the fermentation process. Ice wine, a style founded in Germany and there referred to as eiswein, is an extreme late harvest wine, produced from grapes frozen on the vine, and pressed while still frozen, resulting in a higher concentration of sugar. It is becoming a specialty of Canada as well, where it takes on the English name of ice wine.

    Vin Santo, literally “holy wine,” is a Tuscan sweet wine made from drying the local white grapes Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia in the winery and not pressing until somewhere between November and March.

    Rutherglen is an historic wine region in northeast Victoria, Australia, famous for its fortified Topaque and Muscat with complex tawny characteristics.

Two of the more famous subregions here are Cahors, known for its Malbec, and Madiran, home of the robust Tannat grape. Bordeaux Blends are also popular red wines of the Southwest; Petit Manseng is the regions’s star autochthonous white variety.
