Production 

Haute Vallée de l’Aude is an area where altitude plays a vital role in tempering the climate. Separated from the Mediterranean by a range of coastal mountains whose elevation and gradient prompt higher diurnal ranges and allow cool winds from the Atlantic to blow through the vines. The region’s climate resembles South-West France more than the other hot, dry coastal areas of Languedoc. Malbec has a natural affinity in the Haute Vallée de l’Aude. The fruit for this wine was sourced from the lesser-known territory of Pays Cathare near the towns of Carcassonne and Limoux. Here the argilo-calcaire subsoils give elegance and unique flavours to the wine. While Malbec is traditionally big, bold, and used for blending in this area of France, we chose to present this wine varietally with little oak influence. This is a wine to appreciate for its difference.
