The Languedoc is a vast region stretching across much of the south and Mediterranean and is France`s single largest vineyard entity for its Vins de Pays wines.

Within the Languedoc lie several distinctly identified Vins de Pays (including the l`Aude, Gard and Hérault) and many appellations that maintain traditional local blends and styles such as Minervois, Corbières, Pic Saint Loup and Fitou.

Carignan is a relatively unknown variety, often taking a back seat to its more recognisable blending partners - Syrah and Grenache. Despite which it is an important player in southern France and Spain.

When grown with care and not over-cropped, Carignan produces wines of presence, structure, and spice. Common flavours include red berries, savoury spices, and subtle earthiness. Carignan rosés are fresh and energetic.

Mourvèdre, also known as Monastrell, originated in Spain and is believed to date back to the 1st century BCE. Rarely a standalone varietal it is popular for blending in the Rhône Valley, Provence and Languedoc.

When done well, Mouvérdre wines exhibit flavours of red berries, farmyard, wild game, and earthy notes.

Found throughout northern Spain and southern France, there are three variants: Grenache Noir, Blanc and Gris. 

Grenache Noir is the most common. It is generally spicy, berry-flavored and soft on the palate. Complex and intense notes of blackcurrants, black cherries, black olives, coffee, gingerbread, honey, leather, black pepper, tar, spices, and roasted nuts can also be found.

In August 2017 two ambitious British wine enthusiasts, Bob and Pat Middleton, bought the vineyard after seeing its potential. They have introduced more modern and environmentally-friendly viticultural and vinicultural practices.

They are always mindful of the importance of heritage and terroir. The estate was formally accredited organic by Ecocert, in 2021.
