Presentation
« A tire d’Aile » is a range of delectable, balanced and elegant wines from the Languedoc region’s classic appellations. Thanks to work in the vineyards that respects both the soil and the vines, we produce healthy grapes with good concentration to the delight of the birds that live in our plots.
Terroir
The grapes come from three renowned terroirs in Roussillon: Montner (temperate area whose grapes bring depth to the wine), Tautavel (hot and dry terroir providing complexity), and Caramany (cooler area bringing elegance).
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand. Maceration is traditional for Syrah and Grenache, destemmed. However, for Carignan, the maceration is whole bunch. Aging is done 40% in oak barrels (20% new barrels) and 60% in stainless steel tanks.
