Touraine Wine: A Guide to Its Characteristics and Food Pairing

Touraine is a region located in the Loire Valley, which is known for its diverse terroir and microclimates. The region produces red, white, and rosé wines, with the most highly regarded varieties being made from the Sauvignon blanc and Cabernet Franc grapes.

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes used in making Touraine wines are known for their grassy, herbaceous, and citrusy flavor profile, while the Cabernet Franc grapes produce a medium-bodied red wine with notes of red fruit and spice.

A wine qualifies as a Touraine if it is produced in the Touraine region, in accordance with the designated appellation rules, using grapes grown in the region.

The process of making Touraine wine starts with the careful harvesting of the grapes during peak ripeness. For white wines, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks, while red wines are typically fermented in oak barrels. After fermentation, the wines are aged in stainless steel, concrete, or oak barrels for a few months to several years, depending on the type of wine.

Touraine wine is known for its lively and refreshing taste with delightful flavors ranging from sweet to dry. The white wines have an aroma of citrus and tropical fruits, while the reds offer dark fruit flavors such as blackberry, blackcurrant, and cherry, with a subtle herbal and spicy notes.

Touraine is known for its versatility when it comes to food pairing, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of dishes. The white Touraine wine pairs well with shellfish, chicken, sushi, and salads, while red Touraine wine goes perfectly with roasted poultry, grilled meats, and some soft cheese.

Touraine wine is available in both sweet and dry varieties. The Sauvignon Blanc-based wines tend to be dry, while the Cabernet Franc-based wines are usually slightly off-dry to dry.

For optimum enjoyment, Touraine white wines should be served chilled between 10-12°C (50-54°F) while red wines should be served slightly below room temperature at 14-16°C (57-61°F).

The alcohol content in a bottle of Touraine wine ranges from 11.5% to 14%, depending on the specific wine.
