AOP COTES DU ROUSSILLON VILLAGES RED
The Château Saint-Roch is located in the heart of Roussillon, South of France, close to the Spanish border. Halfway between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean sea, the Queribus Cathar castle, set on a steep cliff, overlooks the valley and the mosaic of our vineyard.
High Environmental Value level 3 vineyard. The Grenache are ‘gobelet’ - free-standing bush vines and the Syrah is trained on trellis wires. Sustainable, low-impact farming, with hand-harvesting for the Grenache.
First selection as the bunches are cut, and second sorting of grapes at the cellar door. The fermentation is kept between 68-73°F to maximize the fruit expression and the wine is macerated for 4 weeks with pumping over and pigeages. 60% of the wine is matured in 500L oak barrels for 14 months, the rest in concrete tanks.
