    Wine column: South West France wines - Manchester Evening News Page 1 sur 3 24 Jan 2014 13:58 Wine column: South West France wines Andy Cronshaw tries three wines from France's hidden corner Without warning, a package of wines from the south west of France dropped on the office mat. The selection was from the lovely people at France Sud Ouest (see southwestfrancewines.com ) who have been working with thewinegang.com to market bottles from this fabulous and varied wine growing region. I have to say by the time I'd finished the wines I was ready to book my holiday in the south west of France. With wines like these to match its regional food, stunning beaches and spectacular rural scenery what could possibly go wrong? Nicely chilled, this sweet wine hits the spot with startling freshness running through its peachy, honeyed fruit. The best of the three was the breathtakingly good Cotes de Gascogne Domaine du Tariquet Dernières Grives 2011 ( £16.90 Wines Society) pictured. Nicely chilled, this sweet wine hits the spot with startling freshness running through its peachy, honeyed fruit. It's made from 100 per cent Petit Manseng and such is its regional typicity I'd suggest you'd find it difficult to compare it with anything else. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/wine-column-s... 28/01/2014 Wine column: South West France wines - Manchester Evening News Page 2 sur 3 The nose and palate carry hints of tropical fruit such as guava and pineapple, but there's a tremendous level of acidity which stops it from ever being anything near cloying.

  • 18-053 Using Yeast to De-Acidify Petit Manseng
    Using yeast to de-acidify Petit Manseng Walsh Family Wine Nate Walsh Summary Petit Manseng is a white fruited variety of Vitis vinifera that originated in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques of Southern France and has its largest plantings in the Jurançon (Tablas Creek a). Petit Manseng was introduced to Virginia by Dr. Tony Wolf in 1987 and has becoMe popular aMong producers for its loose clusters, thick skins, and resistance to bunch rots (Wolf 2008). In Virginia, a growing nuMBer of winemakers are exploring dry Petit Manseng as a varietal taBle wine, however, the high sugar and high acidity characteristics of this grape variety can be a challenge for dry wines. In the present study a side By side comparison was done of wines produced By D47 yeast and Anchor Exotics SPH yeast. Product inforMation indicated Anchor Exotics can consume Malic acid during fermentation via the Malo- ethanolic pathway. D47 yeast produced Petit Manseng wine with lower pH, higher acidity, and lower volatile acidity than Anchor Exotics SPH yeast. Anchor Exotics SPH yeast consuMed 26% of the Malic acid in the juice during primary ferMentation. One of the two barrels inoculated with this yeast also showed signs of Malolactic ferMentation. In a triangle test, tasters were aBle to discriMinate between the wines. Though descriptors for aromatic intensity, perception of acidity and overall balance were not significantly different, open ended questions revealed a difference in perception of acidity By soMe tasters. Discussion after the wines were identified indicated there is a difference in preference based on acidity. SoMe wineMakers considered high acidity a desiraBle part of the varietal character of Petit Manseng while others felt the opposite.

Demarcated parcel area Description and reasons: In point IV(1) of the specification, the municipality of Cannet has been replaced by Riscle (in the territory of the former municipality of Cannet) following the merger of the two municipalities. The request to amend the specification provides an opportunity to correct the spelling of a municipality in the geographical area: Corbères-Abères. Point 1.6 of the single document on the geographical area has been amended accordingly. 2. Vine varieties In point V(2) of the specification, the request to modify the proportions of the vine variety to be planted requires amending the specification for red wines as follows: ‘The proportion of the Tannat N variety may be equal to 50 %.’ For rosé wines, the following provision has been added: ‘The proportion of the Tannat N variety must be greater than or equal to 20 %.’ The following rule for red wines has been extended to rosé wines: ‘These requirements do not apply to winemakers who do not make wine from their own production, whose holding within the area for the controlled designation of origin is less than 1,5 ha and who maintain a proportion of main grape varieties greater than or equal to 50 % of the mix of vine varieties.’ A minimum proportion of Tannat has been added to the proportions for rosé wines, to remain consistent with the blending rules which require at least 25 % Tannat.
