History
Since XV century, the Puig-Parahÿ family has cultivated land around
Passa, located 25 km south west of Perpignan in the heart of French
Catalonia. Under their house, built in 1755, lie cellars containing
the oldest collection of Vin Doux Naturel (vintage sweet wine) in
the world; small barrels marked 1940, 1910, 1898, 1875…!
自十五世紀,Puig-Parahÿ
酒莊已在位於距離Perpignan25公里的Passa從事種植及釀制葡萄酒。世界上最老的甜酒1940,1910,1898,1875…還保存在建於1755年的家中地窖內。
The family had been utterly un-commercial until recently! The unique
collection of Vin Doux Naturel was almost completely unknown. Now, a
range of wines is reaching a wide audience.
直到近年,Puig-Parahÿ
酒莊及珍藏才被發掘。一系列的佳釀才推出市塲。
Terrior
Today, 110 hectares of vineyard and a collection of old sweet wine
spread in three fields;
Le Fort Saint Pierre,
Sant Lluc des Puig Rudun and Le Mas de Miserys.
There is almost nothing done to the wine, nothing added, no thing taken. The result is a totally natural
expression of simply great quality fruit. Since 2001, the owner has been practicing organic
viticulture. The terroir is certified by ECOCERT.
Le Fort Saint Pierre,Sant Lluc des Puig Rudun
及Le
Mas de Miserys三個葡萄園合共110
公頃。土壤得天獨厚,全天然種植優質葡萄。自2001年,園主實行有機種植,並已獲ECOCERT機構認證。

planted with Mourvèdre, Alicante and Grenaches at the end of the XIX
century, replanted after 1940 in Carignan and black Grenache for the
red wine and the white, grey Grenaches and Muscat d’Alexandrie
for the white wine, either dry or sweet. In 1970, the Macabeu and
Syrah were planted. The soils of Sant Lluc are calcium clay stone
soil

The Grenaches are planted in small pieces of lands. The production
was in average of 40 Hl/Ha
in the years 1980 and up to present is 25 Hl/Ha due to the aging of
the vines of which some were replanted after Phylloxéra in 1878.
Le Mas de Miserys
是一個灰色固體岩葡萄園,主要種植Grenaches。由於部份葡萄樹於1878年種植
,開始老化,生產量由40Hl/Ha降至25
Hl/Ha。
Types of Wine
The grapes are
harvested
by hands and the wine makings, carried out in old cement tanks (some
are XIX century), are made in the traditional long fermentation to
ensure a maximum of extraction.
These three vineyards produce dry wines and sweet wines, also the
vintage white and red wines.
葡萄以人手收搳後,放在舊水泥桶(有些是19世紀),釀制過程採用傳統的長時間發酵方法
,以確保最高的品質。

Collection of Rancio
One of
the family traditions is to preserve one barrel of sweet wine
for the birth of each child and also for important events like
marriages or excellent harvests. The accumulation of the barrels
and the tanks,
marked 1940, 1910, 1898, 1875…,
have given birth to a true
collection which makes the fame of the field today.
