News — Winemaking Style

French winemakers have been given the green light to change a centuries-old tradition: a new national law passed in late 2025 now permits the addition of sugar (as grape must) to dry wines, a revolutionary step, especially for Bordeaux.

For the first time, Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos illustrated the wine label with her vibrant "Paraíso" (Paradise) artwork, featuring a detailed grape cluster symbolizing the natural and human elements that create great wine—earth, water, sun rays, night coolness, and human labor depicted as a triangle.
