Vinification
The vineyard for the Syrah grapes has a beautiful slate soil with vines of 35 years old and is located at a cooler altitude of 350 meters near the village of Montner. The vineyards at Tautavel and Maury, on which Grenache grapes are grown, have a soil of red alluvial clay soil and are rich in boulders, as in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The vines are at least 50 years old.
All grapes are picked by hand and then sorted manually, with only the best grapes being retained.
The entire Syrah share was vinified in new French oak barrels, Seguin-Moreau, of 300 liters and then aged for 18 months.

About Secret Vineyards
In May 2012, four friends were sitting around a table enjoying good food and a few excellent bottles of wine. The evening was brightened by opera, with a performance by the renowned soprano Noémie Schellens. It was that night that the idea for these wines was born. One of the wines was naturally named “Noémie”, as she was the crystal-voiced singer who accompanied and delighted them that evening.
The friends went on to purchase vineyards and have wines made on site, following their own chosen methods. The vineyards are located in the Pyrénées-Orientales department, between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains of Corbières, Canigou and Albères, as well as in Limoux, Maury and Tautavel.
