La Traversee

La Traversee Terrasses du Larzac 2011
1 5 odd years ago my mate Baker and his mate Gav thought it sounded like a super
idea to buy a dilapidated old vineyard and cellars in an obscure part of the South of
France and set off making wine. ‘Sounds sick’ I said ‘slate, gres, volcanic and chalk
soils, ancient gnarly bush vines and an old cellar straight from the Tourisme
Languedoc… sounds like a winemaking utopia. Obviously, I was just being a good
human, that said not long after when he told me it was that bad of a drive into
Montpellier for a weekend on the Armagnac with the plethora of students frothing
about, I did start to somewhat see the light. I think we sold about 4 bottles in the
last year, until we channelled a bit of High Fidelity and Brad got it on the Pour in
Gilbert St and ‘Voila’ as Baker and Gav in their little woollen Caps would say.
