Carignan Vieilles Vignes, Mont Rocher, Haute Vallée of Limoux, Languedoc 2023

 Mont Rocher, Haute Vallée of Limoux

Produced from older vines, lessening yield but increasing complexity, acidity and quality.

Mont Rocher Carignan Vieilles Vignes is produced from 50 year old, low yielding vines growing on rugged limestone rich soils, in sun drenched vineyards of the Pyrénées foothills. It is here some of the most expressive Carignan is grown and crafted to display purity of fruit and a distinctive 'goût de terroir'.

Made with an old traditional grape variety, the vinification was carried out in a modern style. The grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and fermentation is carried out at controlled temperature, around 23°C . Ageing is carried out in tanks with a small amount of French oak staves to add more complexity and roundness to the wine.

Juicy and mouth-watering, our old vine Carignan displays hallmark black cherry aromas. Rich and smooth, the red berry fruit character remains pure and vibrant to the finish with vanilla notes.

Grapes: 100% Carignan
