About the wine
Katie stumbled on a plot of ripe Languedoc Vermentino and turned it into this exquisitely refreshing white wine
-
Our Katie loves scouting the Languedoc for overlooked or unusual grapes that she can’t grow in her Tuchan vineyard. On her travels, she came across this beautiful patch of Vermentino and instantly knew she had a little gem on her hands.
-
Found mostly in Italy, Vermentino is a grape that needs warm and sunny weather to fully ripen, meaning it’s right at home in the blazing hot Languedoc. The wine it makes is very different to your typical southern French white, Katie’s is crisp and refreshing with a zest of crunchy green apple and pineapple, rounded out with complex notes of almond and spice.
-
This fresh and fragrant wine is made for cooling down in the sunshine and is delicious with rich seafood, salty salads or even a spicy asian takeaway. Katie says it’s one of her absolute favourites and she can’t wait to share it with you.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Katie Jones
- Katie’s love of wine led her all the way from Leicestershire to the Languedoc where she bought an idyllic vineyard perched half-way up a hill in Tuchan. In 2013 she experienced every winemaker’s worst nightmare when vandals emptied her entire year’s vintage down the drain.
- She turned to us. And 2,500 Angels helped to get her back on her feet - clubbing together to raise over £200k in just 48 hours. Our Queen of the Languedoc was able to start again and has gone on to make some seriously delicious wines, with sparkly awards a plenty.
- Thanks to her beloved Angels, Katie has been able to nab more hilltop vineyards, expand her range and even move her winemaking operation into an old railway station to fit in more barrels. It’s a long way from the 600 cases of wine she made in her garage in 2009!
