Rivesaltes 1986 Domaine Puig-Parahy – Vin Doux Naturel | Roussillon

From a family estate whose history dates back nearly 7 centuries, this vintage Rivesaltes 1986 is the result of exceptional viticulture in the Aspres valleys, in the heart of Roussillon. Since 1875, Domaine Puig-Parahy has offered over 50 vintages of Rivesaltes — a constancy and family continuity that are extremely rare in the world of fortified sweet wines. The Muscats are cultivated between land and sea, on varied soils (clay-limestone, stony, and schist), in one of the hottest and driest climates in France.
