Look at these disheveled, gnarly old guys! These are 60 year old Carignan Vines in our Combelles Vineyard. At the moment they are waiting for their new spring 'haircut'. Our oldest vines grow in Combelles.
They are more than 60 years old. And as it goes with the elderly, they are stubborn and have a distinct character. That's why our premium Castalides wines are made from these vines. The grapes have to be hand-picked and the old vines yield very little, but it's definitely worth the effort!
