Winemaker Notes
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
Collioure, the appellation name for the dry table wines produced in the area overlapping Banyuls, is on the coast at the French-Spanish border. The climate is warm Mediterranean and supports many grape varieties. Red Collioure wines are composed of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre (60% minimum in combination) with Carignan and Cinsault forming the remainder. Rosés come from the same grapes with up to 30% Grenache Gris permitted and dry whites (allowed since 2003 to hold the appellation name) are full-bodied and aromatic wines based on Grenache Blanc and Gris.
