Gaillac History of Wine Making
The vineyards of Gaillac was one of the first growing centres in Gaul. The three different wine-growing areas and the age of the vineyards enable Gaillac to offer numerous traditional grape varieties. The diversity of the Gaillac vineyards means that they can produce a great variety of elaborate wines, a wide range of dry, sweet and “perle” white wines, red and rose wines as well as sparkling wines.
