RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Poulsard produces tight-clustered bunches of large ovoid grapes. The skin of the Poulsard is remarkably thin and lacking in colour/polyphenols, in fact the Poulsard varietal used to be very popular as a table grape, but the aforementioned thin skin prevented it from being transported any further than local villages. These thin skins mean that even after extended maceration/fermentation on the skins the resulting wines tend to be lighter in colour, but are often capable of quite astonishing aromatics that can send even the most experienced of tasters into paroxysms of ecstasy.(Jamie Drummond - The Good Food Revolution, Dec. 8, 2011)
