ROCCA MAURA AOP LIRAC CUVEE SAINT VALENTIN

In 1866, the phylloxera devastated the French vineyards. A Roquemaure’s winegrower decided to go to Rome in order to find Saint Valentine’s relics. He brought them back to Roquemaure to protect the vineyards from this desease. Nowadays, Saint Valentine is the Patron Saint of our village. He is celebrated each year on February the 14th … on Valentine’s Day !

This wine is the finest expression of Lirac’s terroir. The average age of the vines is over 40 years. They are located on the clay and limestone slopes made up of large round pebbles. A severe plot selection takes place before the harvest.
