Graves Wines

The Graves Wine Region is one of the most historic and prestigious appellations in Bordeaux, France. Located in the southwestern part of Bordeaux, it is named after its gravelly soil, which is ideal for viticulture.

Graves is the only Bordeaux sub region famed for all three of Bordeaux's three main wine types (reds, dry whites and sweet wines) although red wines dominate the total production, making it one of the most versatile areas in Bordeaux.

The Graves wine region is unique, as its the birthplace of Bordeaux winemaking with vineyards dating back to Roman times. It produces both top-tier reds and world-class whites, unlike the Médoc, which is mostly red-focused.
