Anecdotes about the domain
Converting the entire Domaine to Organic Agriculture was an obvious choice and a conviction, we wanted to offer our customers, friends and families the healthiest, most digestible and aromatic wines possible. Come and meet us! We are always happy to receive visitors on the property, to share and discuss the methods of production and wine making. Did you know that? Each of our bottles has an ostrich on the label because for 20 years, we had a whole breeding on the Domaine!
The domain's short story
A true haven of peace and greenery located between Monclar-de-Quercy and Vaïssac, the Domaine de Maillac is a historic wine estate, taken over in 1986 by Ulrike and Roland Hoppenstedt, who immediately converted the entire estate to organic farming. From 1999 onwards, 5 hectares of vines were progressively replanted, harvested by hand and vinified under the AOP Coteaux du Quercy and IGP du Comté Tolosan appellations.
