Description

Maison Albera · AOP Côtes du Roussillon

Single-variety Monastrell from a vineyard at 533 metres, on granitic sands with quartz. Like the rest of the range, it comes from the mountain plots the house farms above 500 metres, where altitude preserves acidity and shapes the mineral character. The winery describes it as a crisp, energetic and seductive wine. 14% vol.

The winery

Maison Albera

A Roussillon house based in Argelès-sur-Mer, at the foot of the Albera massif. Alexandre Rieu took over the family estate in 2001 and works it with his brother Fabrice. The whole project is built on high-altitude vineyards: plots on the Tarerach plateau, above 500 metres, on granitic sands and quartz. Altitude gives their wines marked acidity and minerality, and is their answer to climate change. They practise sustainable viticulture.
