As a veteran grape grower

this wine is totally seamless

Fernand Vaquer Vin de Pays Catalan Rouge 1985 moulin a vent black cherryA semi legendary wine from one of the great old school wineries in Roussillon. When the rest of Mediterranean France is busy pulling out their Carignan vines, Frederique Vaquer continues to make this incredible wine in memory of her late husband Fernand, aged to earthy, savory perfection before release. This is wine from another age, made in a simple, traditional style and left to its own devices for decades.
