Œnorando® The Pompirac Path
Description
Discover the Gaillac vineyards through this Œnorando.
Conditions are favourable everywhere for growing vines. The climate is a perfect blend of oceanic and Mediterranean influences. Gaillac is also swept by the beneficial Autan wind, a drying wind that ensures extraordinarily healthy harvests for the winegrowers.
Recognised as an AOC since 1938, the Gaillac vineyards are a bastion of ancient grape varieties. While winegrowers everywhere like to rediscover the old grape varieties that have sometimes been left aside, our vineyards are among those that have never broken with their history. Our grape varieties are our identity. Mauzac, Loin de l'œil and Ondenc for the whites, Braucol, Duras and Prunelart for the reds.
The range of our wines is dazzling in its profiles and tastes, including fresh whites, reds and rosés, still and sparkling wines, dry and sweet wines, all united by the same grape varieties.
