The Syrah vines are grown in the High Agly Valley, whose vineyard is 325 metres. At this elevation, the vines benefit from the coastal breezes sweeping up from the Mediterranean Sea, which help to temper the scorching summer heat. The mountainous foothills of the Pyrenees provide good diurnal temperature differences, with cooler evenings offering the vines gentle respite from the heat, resulting in balanced fruit with natural freshness. The soils comprise a mosaic of schist soils dating back to the Cretaceous period. The schistous marl produces shallow black soils, forcing vines to put down deep roots for water and nutrients. The vineyard is certified organic, and no herbicides or chemicals are used. Yields are kept extremely low at 12 hl/ha to ensure good concentration. Hand-harvested.
