The history of Pineau des Charentes can be traced back to the 16th century when Henry IV came to the throne of France. Legend has is that in the 1589 harvest time, a winegrower accidently poured grape must into a barrel already containing eau de vie. The mixture was rolled to the back of the Lord’s cellar. A few years later, the barrel was needed as a result of a bumper harvest. The owner was somewhat surprised by the marvellous brew, limpid and sunny as the land of Charentes

These wines began their life as Manzanillas and then the flor was allowed to die away so they continued their maturation with exposure to the air in the barrel. Therefore the wine has a deep topaz colour with roasted almond character yet retains the characteristic tangy flavour of Manzanilla. This wine has been slightly sweetened with Pedro Ximenez to give it a raisined edge.
