Domaine Força Real
Story
In 1258, the new masters of Roussillon, kings of Aragon and Majorca, built a castle to defend the northern border of the region. The castle built by Nunyo Sanch was called "Royal Castle" in Catalan "Força Réal". These lands are sometimes described as a cross between landscapes of Tuscany and Andalusia, and benefit from an excellent exposure to the sun. Jean Paul Henriques renovated the estate and made a bet to replant vines in the local scrubland.
Since then, winemaker Cyril Henriques and his team have been working with consistency the different soils and grape varieties. The constant attention and healthy Mediterranean climate allow them to produce a unique range of wines.
The vineyards are spread over 70 hectares from 100 to 450m above sea level. It enjoys typical mountain schist slopes and limestone soil with clay and clay-rocky terraces. This unique terroir benefits from the winds of the Mediterranean Sea and an unlimited sunshine, which give its typical taste to Força Réal's wines.
