Region/Producer:

Fredéric Garrabou

Fred was born in the small village of Limoux, situated amongst the Languedoc vineyards. His father and both his grandfathers were vine growers, and he grew up immersed in the vineyards, assisting his father from a young age. The cultivation of vines has always captivated him, as he believes that the finest wines are crafted in the vineyard.

Vinification:

After harvest and upon reaching optimal ripeness the grapes are destemmed and divided into two sections at the triage table. The first is traditionally fermented on their skin for 10 days. The second group, a much smaller percentage, is processed using thermovinification, increasing to very high temperatures before fermentation. This helps to develop and enhance the extraction of phenolic compounds and improve wine quality. Both are blended once their individual processes are complete. 30% of the wine is aged in French oak for 6 months.
