Cantaca
Bright golden yellow color. Very intense, exotic nose with notes of pineapple and mango, apricot and peach, mingling with floral and cedar notes. The palate is full of these aromas, with excellent length sustained by great freshness. A sapid, gourmet finish.

Terroir
The Chardonnay, Petit Manseng and Chenin grapes we have selected are located on a hillside near Limoux (continental climate), on clay-limestone soils. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are planted on the heights of Saint-Martin de Fenouillet, at an altitude of 450 m, on granite arena and black schist soils.
This wine comes from a part of our vineyard run using Regenerative Agriculture: low-density plant cover, no ploughing, use of Biochar*, etc. We are testing different methods of “cultivating water”, which has become so precious and scarce, particularly in Roussillon, that has been hit by extreme drought.
*Biochar is a carbon-rich compound obtained from the pyrolysis of green waste. It acts as a micro-sponge and increases the biological, chemical and physical fertility of soil
