After 17 years working in sales for a cooperative, Lincolnshire-born Katie Jones bought a small hillside vineyard near the village of Maury and struck out on her own, making a small range of delicious wines with help from Australian winemaking consultant David Morrison.
The name Fitou is not the name of a grape but the name of a small village on the Mediterranean coast between Narbonne and Perpignan.
There are 8 other villages that are allowed to produce Fitou, 5 in the low lying coastal area and 4 inland on the higher ground of the Corbières mountains.
Full-bodied, complex, smooth and succulent, with pure hedgerow fruit. The secret of Fitou is definitely in the age of the vines – most of them being over 100 years old which brings freshness, depth and a beautiful texture to the wine.
A concentrated, voluptuous wine with a multi-layered feel, combining blackcurrant, liquorice and vanilla notes with hints of wild garrigue herbs in a satisfyingly well-integrated palate.
Best paired with a steak and chips, highland venison, duck, cassoulet, wild boar stew, mature cheddar, steak and ale pie.
