Wine Description:
The property is nestled in steep hills, slightly inland from the Mediterranean coast near Narbonne in the south of France.
Terroir: Altan is named after a wind that blows in from the sea. The grapes are selected from the plots at the base of the slopes that separate the property from the Mediterranean, thus benefiting from the breeze that brings freshness and humidity and tempers the sometimes dry, arid climate. These conditions allow the berries to maintain a good balance and to keep relatively fine skins.
Tasting Note:
The color is deep and intense with violet and dark garnet reflections.
The nose offers a springy bouquet of fresh flowers, enhanced with peppery notes and cherry covered in praline.
Altan, a genuine concentrate of fruits and scents, presents a complex palette that reflects the profound identity of our terroirs : scrubland shrubs (broom, rockrose), aromatic herbs (thyme, sage, juniper, and rosemary). Batches resulting from carbonic maceration give the blend its velvety character that envelops a firm structure and brings notes of fresh and juicy fruits (fresh grapes, cranberries). This complex mosaic, easily identifiable, constitutes the distinctive mark that we wanted to highlight in this wine.
