At Mourgues du Gres, between southern Rhone and Provence, Mr Francois Collard produced some of the most unique wine in the area. He has good experience, as he was working at Chateau Lafite Rothschild, in Bordeaux, for while. Terre D'Argence white is made from a blend of viognier (old vines) some Petit Manseng and Roussanne. a small part is aged in barrel in order to add complexity without overpowering the natural aromas of this wine. It is often on wine-list in France, especially in Michelin-star restaurant as most of the wines from this family estate offer stunning value. Medium to full-bodied, gentian, gingery, peach. great glyceric texture. Balanced acidity. Superb southern wine.

Long ago, the town of Toro was famous for producing the finest red wine in Spain and was mentioned in the historic literature of Alfonso IX (King of León, 12th c.), Juan Ruiz the Archpriest of Hita, Quevedo, Luis de Góngora, and Miguel de Cervantes. In 14th Century Sevilla, the sale of any foreign wine was prohibited, save the wines of Toro. These wines also accompanied Spanish explorers to the New World
