It’s all Greek – Assyrtiko explained
In March 2020 we planted 1500 Assyrtiko vines. One year later, they are thriving. So why and how did we end up planting a Greek variety in the Languedoc?
Welcome to Domaine La Tasque
Excellent Carignan and Syrah, grown in tune with nature
We are Simon Ingman and Juliet Bruce Jones MW, owners of Domaine La Tasque, a small wine estate in the Languedoc, between Carcassonne and the Mediterranean, with vineyards surrounded by pine trees and fragrant wild herbs. We farm organically and harvest by hand to ensure grapes of tip-top quality for our range of pure, vibrant red and rosé wines.
