The winemaker's pride
In the South of France, northwest of Narbonne, the vineyards of Château de Paraza are located on an exceptional terroir, in the Minervois. Overlooking the Canal du Midi and the plain of the Aude, they spread out in the sun on the hillsides of the village of Paraza. The vineyard is made up of numerous plots of traditional grape varieties with old vines of Syrah, Grenache noir, and Mourvèdre. More recently other grape varieties (Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot noir, Marselan, Roussanne, Gewurztraminer) have been replanted to bring diversity to the winery. SOILS: Clay-limestone on alluvial soil, siliceous pebbles from the Montagne Noire CLIMATE: Warm, sunny nearly 300 days a year, strongly swept by the tramontane (except in 2018!). HVE CULTURAL PRACTICES: The vineyard is managed in a reasoned manner with cultural practices often identical to those of organic farming and certified High Environmental Value. Every day, special attention is paid to the vine, to its environment and to the elements likely to have an impact on its development. The respect of the terroir intimates us a minimum of actions of the man in the vineyard, according to the climatic conditions, the risks of disease, and the stages of receptivity of the vine. WINE EXPRESSION: Château de Paraza produces wines of character, offering a great aromatic richness and a balanced structure. The signature of the winemaker is expressed through the emphasis on fruit and silky tannins.
