Chateau Caraguilhes Solus Corbieres 2012

Château de Caraguilhes is a sprawling 600-hectare property that stretches across the Corbieres region in the south of France. Over 130 hectares of the property are under the vine, which are surrounded by garrigue (wild land). The vineyards are just 30 kilometers from the Mediterranean sea, which helps to mitigate disease pressure and boosts acidity levels. Caraguilhes has been committed to organic farming since 1987 and the vineyards have been certified organic since 1992.

Reds are the appellation’s forte; they are famously rich, herb-scented wines, made from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Lledoner Pelut and Carignan. Rosé Corbières wines are also well-respected, produced from the same red varieties, combined with Grenache Gris and Picpoul.

Corbières is an important appellation of the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. It is one of the better-known and most productive Languedoc titles. Corbières vineyards turn out large quantities of red and rosé wines, along with a growing number of whites.
