Sourcing: Fruit from the Gers region, in the centre of southern France provides a core of rich and vibrant fruit with impressive depth whilst the high altitude, cool climate Aude Valley fruit provides high note aromatics and bright, fresh acidity.

Winemaking: Totally de-stemmed before a long, cool maceration. Maturation is primarily in stainless steel with roughly one third undergoing carbonic maceration, aiding aromatics and fruit expression. A further third receives six month maturation in French oak for greater complexity. 

2018 Vintage: 2018 saw a return to auspicious vintage conditions – a mild, wet winter was replaced by a wet spring. July and August were hot and dry before September remained sunny with cool nights. Fruit quality was deemed excellent and the wines will deliver characteristic regional expression.
