Mas des Caprices, 'Ze Fitou'

"Situated between Narbonne and Perpignan, on the border of the Languedoc and Roussillon regions, the vineyard extends over 16 hectares on the Leucate and Fitou villages. We are above all respectful of Nature and what it gives us. From the outset, we have been committed to biodynamic agriculture, working our vines every year to ensure that our wines combine ripeness and freshness of fruit, and have done so ever since we set up in 2005."

The fruit used to make the Ze Fitou is hand harvested from the Leucate plateau overlooking the Mediterranean, and is then fermented using indigenous yeasts. Each variety is vinified separately at optimum maturity. The pressed wine is aged in barrels for nine months (30% of the cuvée volume), while the free run juice is aged in concrete tanks. 

Ze Fitou is a bit of self-depricating humor from the winemakers, making light of the way they pronounce 'the' with a French accent.
