The vine stock at Domaine de Cala is rooted in clay and limestone soil and worked with skill and finesse. This complexity produces remarkable wines that embody the region’s singularity. A winemaker’s dream!
Domaine de Cala, have taken the time to carefully determine which grapes to grow. Our four red varieties and three whites, chosen by mass selection, allow us to reconnect with early varieties. Because you need the best grapes to make the best wine. Among the more predominant varieties, Grenache – the Mediterranean grape par excellence – produces sweeter, mellow wine, while Syrah makes for powerful, forthright reds. The rarer grapes include Carignan for our red wines and Clairette for our whites.
Although people gave shape to the vineyard, environmental protection remains a priority at Cala, involving controlled plant cover, manual or mechanical weeding, non-chemical treatments using sulphur and copper sulphate, organic fertiliser and more.
