Les Hautes Terres Autres Terres Rouge, 2022, 750ml

Description

Les Hautes Terres is located on the very western edge of the Languedoc in the tiny village of Roquetaillade. Here on the boundary of the Limoux appellation, Geneviève and Gilles Azam live and work at the very top of a 600m summit that is surrounded by an amphitheater of vineyards. The fossil filled clay-limestone and sandstone slopes offer countless expositions and unique microclimates, perfect for crafting honest wines that showcase this unique terroir.

The Merlot and Cinsault are crushed and macerated separately. Alcoholic fermentation begins naturally using only indigenous yeasts. The Cinsault is pressed after 1 day of maceration and the Merlot is pressed after 5 days of maceration. Vinification is done entirely in stainless steel tanks.
