The wine region of Haute Vallee de l'Orb
IGP in the north-west of the Hérault within the Parc du Haut Languedoc (32 communes from Prémian to Avène, 200–650 m altitude, soils of schist, gneiss, granite, basalt and moraines, temperate Mediterranean-Atlantic climate). Syrah, Merlot and Grenache lead in red blends (Syrah 50%): more taut and aromatic than Languedoc plain wines, fresh fruit and preserved freshness. Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon give aromatic fresh whites—cool nights preserve acidity.
The wine region of Pays d'Oc
The single-grape IGP par excellence: modern, accessible, frank and fruity wines, the popular signature of the Midi. Spicy Syrah reds (pepper, blackberry), round Merlot, structured Cabernet, generous Grenache, supple Cinsault. Crisp, tangy rosés. Opulent Chardonnay whites, lively Sauvignon, floral, apricoty Viognier.
The word of the wine: Solera
A method of maturing practiced in Andalusia for certain sherries, which aims to continuously blend older and younger wines. It consists of stacking several layers of barrels; those located at ground level (solera) contain the oldest wines, the youngest being stored in the barrels on the upper level. The wine to be bottled is taken from the barrels on the lower level, which is replaced by younger wine from the upper level, and so on.
