Domaine La Tour Vieille Collioure La Pinede 2018 1.5L

THE VINEYARD With their roots barely covered, our vines grow out of virtual schistous bedrock on steeply sloping hills that form the last range of the Pyrenees mountains as they plunge into the Mediterranean about 10km from the Spanish frontier. Because of these steep slopes, mechanised farming methods are far from possible but these slopes are striated by an ancient unique architectural pattern of low dry-stone walls. Apart from the fascinating pattern these hand-made walls produce across the hillside, they have vital functions in defining the terraces, keeping the vines in place and preventing erosion. TECHNICAL DATA This wine ‘La Pinède’ is made mainly from the parcel of land by the Tourette dominating Collioure from which the domain La Tour Vieille takes its name.
