Rivesaltes 1910

The vinification of natural sweet wines comes from Muscats cultivated between land and sea, in the valleys of the Aspres bordering the fertile plain of Roussillon. These valleys are home to one of the hottest and driest climates in France, which, combined with work on yields, gives all the power and nobility characteristic of the natural sweet wines produced in this region. Beyond the great history of natural sweet wines, Domaine Puig-Parahÿ has evolved its estate by diversifying grape varieties and winemaking methods to offer a wide range of wines.

In 1994, Georges Puig inherited the estate's vineyards. The soils are very varied: the first type of soil is dominated by clay-limestone, the second by a stony terroir, and the last by a schist massif. This diversity of terroirs allows for a varied grape varietal: Carignan, Grenache Noir, Gris, and Blanc, Muscat d'Alexandrie, Macabeu, Mourvèdre, and Muscat à Petits Grains.
Yields averaged 40 hectoliters per hectare but continue to decrease due to the aging of the vines. For this reason, the Château has been replanting other vines for several years, also introducing new grape varieties such as Syrah.
