Closure: Cork
Varieties: 70% Grenache, 30% Syrah
Structure: Full-bodied
Terroir: The estate is located in the heart of the Tavellois vineyard, known for its clay hillsides and round pebbles. The soils are rich and contribute to the intensity and complexity of the wine, providing a perfect foundation for Grenache and Syrah to thrive.
Winemaking: Terre Mère undergoes a short fermentation period of 15 days, focusing on gently extracting the fruit's character. The wine is pumped gently each day to enhance the extraction process.
Aging: Takes place in stainless steel tanks and concrete, preserving the fresh fruit profile and purity of the varietals.
Tasting Notes / Food Pairing & Cellaring
On the Nose: Terre Mère offers an expressive bouquet with fresh red fruit aromas, such as raspberry and cherry, complemented by subtle herbal and spicy notes typical of Grenache and Syrah.
On the Palate: The wine is supple and easy to drink, with fresh acidity and a smooth texture. Its full body is balanced by vibrant fruit flavours, offering a refreshing yet satisfying experience.
Pairing & Cellaring: This wine is versatile and can be enjoyed throughout the year, particularly chilled in the summer. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, Mediterranean dishes, and fresh salads. Its fresh, supple nature makes it ideal for drinking in the first 5 years, though it can also benefit from short-term aging. Best served slightly chilled, especially during warm months.

Frequently Asked Questions
A short fermentation period of 15 days focuses on gently extracting the fruit’s character while avoiding over-extraction of tannins or bitterness.
This approach helps retain the natural freshness and bright fruit flavours of the wine, while still providing enough time for a balanced extraction of colour and aromas.
Gentle pumping, or remontage, involves circulating the fermenting wine over the cap, which is the layer of grape skins that forms on top of the fermenting liquid.
This process helps extract additional flavour, colour, and tannins from the skins.
By gently pumping over the cap, the wine maintains its fruit-forward character and smooth tannins, without extracting harsh or astringent qualities.
Aging in stainless steel and concrete helps maintain the wine’s fresh fruit profile and purity.
Stainless steel preserves the wine’s vibrant fruit aromas, while concrete offers a more neutral environment, allowing for subtle texture development and preserving the natural expression of the Grenache and Syrah varietals.
