Cantharos
France
A 95-point, platinum medal-winning wine from the windy coasts of Southern France
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Cantharos
White Wine
A multiple award-winning white wine from southwest France, Cantharos 2015 took the platinum medal at the 2017 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Challenge, scoring 95 points. Cantharos is produced by vineyards from Côtes de Gascogne, a region which won its initial fame thanks to a climate particularly conducive to the production of white wines. The rich alluvial soil, sunny climate, wet spring, and influences from the distant Atlantic Ocean all contribute to the production of wonderfully crisp and aromatic white wines.
The Cantharos 2015 White Wine Côtes de Gascogne is a lovely blend of four varieties of grape. Predominantly Colombard, it also includes Ugni Blanc, Gros Manseng, and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Together these varieties combine to produce a unique and vitalizing tasting experience.
This wine is a harmonious medley of sweet and citrus fruits. On the nose, ...

WINE REGION:
France
While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Cantharos
Wine has been one of the pillars of culture for the entirety of recorded history. It is safe to say that the winemaking profession has changed more in the last few decades than it did in the preceding few millennia, but there are still some places that do things the old way. In southern France farmers are making wine as they have for centuries. The Romans spread grapes as they spread their empire, and the Cantharos wines are a hat-tip to this past.
