description
Tutiac wines are made at two different cooperative wineries in the Bordeaux wine region: La Cave des Hauts de Gironde and les Caves d’Alliance-Bourg. La Cave les Hauts de Gironde is the newest cooperative winery in the Aquitaine, created in 1974. It has gained a reputation for exceptional quality in white wines, for technological advancement in equipment and innovation in cultivation. Les Caves d’Alliance-Bourg was created in 1936 and has focused more on the traditional wines of the region. The company is named for the Tutiac Chapel, constructed in 1234 on a nearby hill and dedicated to Notre Dame de Verdot.

Les Vignerons de Tutiac is probably the largest producer from whom we import wines. While the company exports worldwide, First Vine is pleased to be the only U.S. importer of Quintet, a 100% Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a light-bodied, crisp wine with great acidity and the aroma and flavor of grapefruit. It's a great aperitif, or accompaniment to fish, seafood, poultry, and mild cheeses. Plus it's our first wine in a screw-top bottle, so it's eminently portable for impromptu occasions!
