Winemaking: Organic Macabeu grapes were harvested by hand. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Bottled with no fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: We love Thierry's wines for their wild, rustic character and ability to transport us straight to the Banyuls sea-side. This is no different. A tropical and saline white wine with a smokey streak running throughout. Everything is ramped up to 10 so brace yourself and dive in!

Notes on the Winemaker: Thierry Diaz farms 4 hectares of vines on the dramatic slopes of Banyuls, right on the border between France and Catalunya. The sea brings a cooling influence to these sun drenched vineyards where he grows indigenous grape varieties. He works out of the Neuf Cave winery and produces wild and energetic wines that serve as artistic impressions of this Mediterranean terroir.
