202 HAWAII BEVERAGE GUIDE'S 2021 GUIDE TO WINE HAWAIIBEVGUIDE.COM Cahors AOC Subregion First Terrace Second Terrace Third Terrace Causse Climate: Winkler Region not Available Mean Rainfall: 31.0 inch Elevation: 344 ft to 1089 ft Mean Temperature Warmest Month High: 82 °F (July) Mean Temperature Warmest Month Low: 58 °F (July) Mean Temperature Coldest Month High: 48 °F (January) Mean Temperature Coldest Month Low 36°F (January) Soil The “first terrace” terroir is located closest to the river. It consists of young and fertile alluvium with sandy loam soils The “second terrace” is five metres high er. This is a lime stone terroir where runoff has extracted the finest and most fertile soil elements with the presence of rounded pebbles that bear witness to the former course of the river. Compared to the “first terrace,” the soil of the latter contains more clay. Higher still, the “third terrace,” con sists of two types of soils: A more grav elly limestone soil closer to the plateau and a clayey lime stone soil that gives the wines its fruiti ness and strength. This terroir is less fertile than the terraces and also less influenced by the river. The diversity of soils on the limestone plateau is impressive. Some are marl soils dotted with limestone rocks or red, sometimes even purple pebbles (side rolithic formations that are rich in ferruginous concre tions). Some soils are par ticularly rich in yellow or red clay which retain water and nutrients, ensuring a constant supply of water and minerals to the vine plants. Characteristics Light, fruity wines. The more clayey soil retains water, pro viding the vineyard with stable hydra5. tion, thus giving the wine body and depth. The limestone soil gives the wines great finesse, and a clayey limestone soil that gives the wines its fruitiness and strength. Temperature contrasts be tween day and night result in the grapes ripening later than in lower regions with less flesh but undeniable finesse.
