The region  soils vary from slate to sand, fluvial sediment to gravel, that all run down between the  Pyrenees and the mediterranean. This setting has helped create a quest for quality that has gone beyond winemaking, encompassing all things cultural, celebrating art and history in all aspects of life.

The vineyards are approximately 50 metres above sea level, with an average vine age of over 52 years. The approach in the vineyard is conventional and planted in a double royal training system. The grape selection process and destemming is done manually in vineyard, and then pressed in the winery with a pneumatic press.

Pale yellow with some green reflections. Aromatically this is so very intense. Fresh fruits, aromatic herbs and touches of anise. In the mouth it is well balanced, fresh, enveloping. This is a complex, long lasting wine, nice, with a marked varietal personality.

The complexity of the wine sits well with spice! Moroccan, Asian and Indian dishes.
