Château Nadal Terre de Quarante 2018

Château Nadal – often known as Château Nadal-Hainaut – is one of the traditional estates of the Roussillon. The property is located near Perpignan, where old Grenache, Syrah and Carignan vines root in sparse slate, limestone and gravel soils. The Mediterranean climate, shaped by intense sunshine and the cooling Tramontane wind, creates aromatic concentration while preserving remarkable freshness.

Château Nadal is increasingly working sustainably and places great emphasis on precise parcel work. The red wines show deep dark fruit, garrigue notes, spice and a powerful yet elegant structure. The estate’s white and rosé wines shine with herbal aromas, lively citrus notes and mineral clarity. Château Nadal today stands for authentic, characterful wines with a strong regional identity.

Languedoc stretches along the Mediterranean coast and is considered one of Europe’s largest and most diverse wine regions. Warm, sunny days, cooling winds and soils ranging from limestone to slate create ideal conditions for characterful wines. Traditionally, red blends from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan dominate, ranging from juicy and fruit-driven to spicy and powerful. They are joined by fresh white wines from Picpoul, Grenache Blanc or Vermentino, as well as aromatic rosés and excellent sparkling wines from Limoux.

Languedoc has evolved from a bulk-wine image into a dynamic quality region: many winemakers focus on old vines, sustainable cultivation and precise cellar work. The result is authentic Mediterranean wines with an excellent price-to-pleasure ratio.
