The vineyards we harvest sit at 240-280m altitude and are quite spectacular. “Heroic viticulture” is a well suited term for this site. All are old bush vine 40-80 years old, perched on steep rolling sites at the base of the cliffs on the northern edge of the Agly valley, near Queribus, on classic Schist and Gres (sandy) schist.

Our organic Grenache and Carignan are hand-harvested a little earlier than most in the region. Wild fermentation, minimal intervention and then stored in small concrete vats. No oak is used. An exceptionally fine example of what the Roussillon region can deliver.

“Grenache (60%) Carignan (40% )a wine of power but not at the cost of elegance and finesses. This is classic Maury Grenache – huge dark brooding fruit, great concentration and rich texture with top quality Carignan adding freshness, acidity and bright fruit. It is this elegance and freshness that marks it out.

Description

About Terres Fideles

Born in the wilds of Roussillon. The Soleilla vineyard is perched high in the dramatic hills & terraces above the Vallée d’Agly with a unique character of its own. The famed black schist is interspersed with pockets of limestone from the higher slopes, combining the richness & power that is typical of Maury with a fresher, more finely defined character.

Crafted by Fergal Tynan MW, Fidèle is a blend of 80% old vine Grenache from the very low yielding hillside Soleilla vineyard & 20% century old Carignan from the summit of the plateau. As Fegal states, “it is these people & places that inspire our winemaking. It is our duty to create wines that allows the fruit to express the spirit of the place – ‘L’esprit de lieu’. “
