Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

The négrette is the flagship grape variety of the Fronton AOC, of which it is the sole holder. Brought back from Cyprus by the Order of St Jean of Jerusalem in the 12th century. It belongs to the same family as the Malbec and Tannat grapes, the Cotoïdes family.
