Vineyards and Terroir

Nestled in the Rhône Valley, the vineyards that produce LA FILATURE MÉDITERRANÉE RED benefit from alluvial soils - remnants of the ancient Rhône River. These mineral-rich grounds allow the vineyards to yield grapes bursting with freshness and intensity, a tribute to the vibrant Mediterranean climate. The young vines, often referred to as “third leaves,” come from the family’s prestigious estates in Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, encompassing expertise and heritage in every grain of soil.

Craftsmanship and Care

The art of winemaking at Famille Quiot combines meticulous craftsmanship and undying passion. Grapes for LA FILATURE MÉDITERRANÉE RED are harvested with precision at the peak of ripeness to ensure optimal fruit expression. The delicate process includes destemming, gentle crushing, and fermentation at controlled temperatures to maintain aromatic purity. Striking the perfect balance between tradition and modernity, the wine undergoes 8–10 days of maceration to extract the rich color and soft tannins. This process is complemented by aging for 6–8 months in concrete tanks, allowing subtle micro-oxygenation that mellows tannins while preserving the wine’s vivacious character.
