Growing Conditions

2016 was a difficult year for a several wine regions in France. Hail and frost severely reduced crops in several regions. But the the Roussillon region was very lucky. Despite a slight lack of water and smaller-sized grapes, this harvest generated very tasty wines.

After a dry spring and a very hot summer, our grapes were never going to grow very large and required more time to ripen. But both reds and whites are concentrated, and full of flavour, with reds rich in colour, and whites with lots of ripe concentration.

Nose

Aromas of citrus fruit and white peach, with a hint of redcurrant.

Palate

Bone dry and very refreshing, with crisp, mouthwatering freshness, and charming red fruit flavours.

Appearance

An extremely delicate pale pink.

Food Pairing

Delicious with a salade nicoise, or a chicken salad, and the taste will transport you to the South of France, even on a misty November day.

Aging

Our wine is released young, and is best consumed within a year of bottling.

Harvest

A smaller crop made for a quicker than normal harvest, with plenty of sunny and dry weather, and no significant risks of rain.

Bottling

Bottled in early April.
