What is your favorite forgotten grape? Counoise
What was your first experience with a forgotten grape? We have introduced 9 grapes to the United States, and the incredible success we saw with the first round (including Grenache Blanc and Counoise) encouraged us to get all the rest of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape grapes into the country
What do you love most about the forgotten grapes? They offer an incredible variety of flavors and character, thrive in a variety of climates and soils, and can be remarkably valuable in blends as well as on their own.
