Critic Review

17/20 Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com "Full bottle 1,141 g. Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Very old vines (some more than 100 years old), spontaneous fermentation. Rose petals and hibiscus tea. Lavender. Lovely, eloquent, slow-weave evolution – fruit bleeding red-blood brightness into sweet sepia into Darjeeling tea. Deliquescent tannins infusing the wine with the memory of stems and storms and fissured bark. You can taste the garrigue-tinctured wind and the rack of rocks in every mouthful. A gentle wine tattooed with the arid soul of Roussillon. (TC) 14% "

Established in 1446, Etienne Parahy is known as the first owner of the vineyards and the estate 'Puig Parahy'. In those near 600 years, the estate has passed through 19 generations to current owner and vigneron Georges Puig (the first son of each new generation is named 'Georges'). Nestled in Les Aspres region, a wonderful mixed-soil and fresh terroir of the Roussillon which is found between Mt. Canigou and the Mediterranean sea. The estate has a rich history producing outstanding rancio sweet wines that develop and live for decades, sometimes even centuries. Bottles from the 1800s are still available today. The estate was replanted in 1878 after phylloxera wiped out all of the vineyards. Many of these vines are still producing wonderful old vine fruit of outrageous quality that is carefully and naturally handled to produce a great range of dry table wines and VdNs of many styles.

This is special wine. Ancient vines of Carignan, Grenache and Mourvedre and native, wild yeasts from this historic Roussillon estate have produced this pale, bright and gorgeous mid-red coloured wine - looking exactly like a current hipster favourite. The nose is alive with prickly bright fruits intermixed with beautiful secondary and tertiary aromas of old books, furniture and childhood memories of churches and other magnificent and curious things of wonder. The palate is equally as interesting and as equally sparkly bright and refreshing. But so rewarding, resolved and complex. An utter marvel from this unsung fresh terroir in the magnificent Roussillon.
