THE SOUTH WEST

Vineyards of South West FranceOften described as France’s "Hidden Corner," the South West is a sprawling and diverse region that offers some of the most distinctive and soul-stirring wines in the country. Tucked between the Pyrénées mountains, the Atlantic Ocean, and the borders of Bordeaux, this area is a treasure trove of indigenous grape varieties and ancient winemaking traditions that have remained largely independent of mainstream trends.

The region is famous for its "black wines," most notably the powerful, dark-fruited Malbec from the limestone plateaus of Cahors. Unlike its smoother international counterparts, South West Malbec is structured, earthy, and built for the dinner table. Further south, the rugged hills of Madiran produce the formidable Tannat, a grape known for its immense tannins and deep complexity. For those seeking lighter reds, the historic vineyards of Gaillac and Fronton offer unique flavours of spice and violet from grapes like Duras, Fer Servadou, and Négrette.

White wines are equally compelling and refreshingly different. The sun-drenched slopes of Gascony produce vibrant, aromatic whites packed with citrus and tropical fruit, while Jurançon, nestled in the foothills of the Pyrénées, is celebrated for its searingly fresh, honeyed wines made from the Gros and Petit Manseng grapes. Whether you are looking for a robust red to pair with a hearty cassoulet or a crisp, saline white for an afternoon in the courtyard, our South West collection highlights the artisanal craft of a region that truly marches to its own beat.
