About the Producer
The vineyard benefits from the exposure of Costières de Nîmes southern hillsides cascading down towards the Mediterranean, a location which provides optimal sunshine but benefits from freshening sea breezes. This wine is produced from low-yielding 20 year old vines yielding 50hl/ha. The winery is a member of Terra Vitis, a group dedicated to safeguarding the environment and using natural treatments wherever possible, and has now moved to full organic certification.
Food Pairing
A lovely apéritif but also matches well with asparagus, grilled fish and chicken in a creamy sauce.

Fun Fact
The area was settled by veterans of Julius Caesar’s campaigns in Egypt, and bottles of Costières de Nîmes bear the symbol of the Roman settlement at Nîmes, a crocodile chained to a palm tree.
