Vinen kommer fra Sud-Ouest, som ligger i det sydvestlige Frankrig mellem Bordeaux, Dordogne, Toulouse og Pyrenæerne. Dette område består af mange mindre vinområder med stor variation i klima og jordbund, der strækker sig fra kølige bjergnære marker til varme dale langs floderne Garonne, Lot, Tarn og Dordogne. Regionen er særligt kendt for sine lokale druesorter og appellationer som netop Madiran.
Denne rødvin er baseret på druen Tannat, som er en kraftfuld sort kendt for sin dybe farve og tydelige struktur. Druen er særligt udbredt i Madiran og det øvrige Sydvestfrankrig, men findes også i andre dele af verden som Californien. Vinen har et alkoholindhold på 12 % og er tappet på en flaske med en volumen på 750 ml.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Zuid-Oost
Sud-Ouest lies in south-western France between Bordeaux, the Dordogne, Toulouse and the Pyrenees. The area comprises many smaller wine zones with great variation in climate, soil and grape varieties, from cool mountain-edge vineyards to warm valleys along the Garonne, Lot, Tarn and Dordogne rivers. Malbec, Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Fer Servadou are important black grapes, while Colombard, Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng, Mauzac and Len de l'El are used for white wine. The red wines range from fruity and spicy to dark, firm and tannic with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, pepper, herbs, liquorice and leather. The white wines can be fresh, aromatic or sweet with citrus, exotic fruit, honey and flowers. The area is known for local grapes, rustic reds, characterful whites and appellations such as Cahors, Madiran, Gaillac, Jurançon, Bergerac, Fronton and Irouléguy.
