    Our new vineyard of cabernet sauvignon planted in June 2009 "a dazzling winery which is a model of organic and biodynamic excellence" Tomas Clancy, Wine Correspondent, The Sunday Business Post.

    *NEW: our label designs and sensitive cristallisation.

    Harvest time 2008 *NEW: hand-picking vintage 2008 at Haut Garrigue on ReserveAge Organic's 6 minute video. We supply our grape skins after pressing for resveratrol, a powerful polyphenol found in grape skins and in red wine; it aids longevity and fosters cellular rejuventation. And yes, you guessed it, it's typically higher in organic and biodynamic grapes than in chemically-farmed grapes.

    Chateau Haut Garrigue has been a wine estate for centuries. The date etched above the cellar and original buildings is 1737 and some walls date to 700 AD. The name, Garrigue, can be found on medieval maps of the area and refers to the herbal mix (lavender, thyme, fennel, rosemary) that naturally thrives here. We continue to nurture this wild earth with organic farming practices. Garrigue's vineyards follow the contours of the beautiful Dordogne valley - the cradle of European civilisation.Seán speaks at the Biodynamic Workshop run by Delicious Magazine and Discovery Foods at the Real Food Festival

    But it's not only our farm that is historic. Our families were both involved in the wine business generations ago: Seán's grandfather owned and farmed a vineyard while he was growing up. Caroline's grandmother was a French descended from the Galway Frenchs. This is one of the 14 merchant families of Galway alongside illustrious names of Lynch and Kirwan - both famous wine geese. The French tribe moved from Normandy in France to Galway to import wine in the 1300s. Frenchs are noted as significant wine negociants in Bordeaux and Dublin in the golden era of the 1700s/ 1800s.

    Chateau Haut Garrigue Sauvignon Blanc is grown on limestone fossil rock filled with the mysteries of the seas of millions of years ago In 2005 we decided to follow our roots and left our city jobs to pursue the dream of producing fine wines from small high-quality individual parcels. Chateau Haut Garrigue offers excellent terroir, the right mix of grape varietals (merlot and cabernet sauvignon for our wonderful rich reds and rosé, sémillon and sauvignon blanc for our delicious whites) and old vines. We grasped the opportunity to follow our dream. We invite you to discover more about our Wild Earth Wines, the Grape Escape (our self-catering house), our vineyards or to shop online. Then visit us at Chateau Haut Garrigue to taste our wine, picnic or stay awhile. A bientot!
