The Mira Luna terroir is characterized by clay-limestone soils and a dry Mediterranean climate benefiting from cool nights related to altitude.
This exceptional terroir allows the grape varieties to express themselves frankly and fully, producing wines that are fresh, aromatically complex and perfectly balanced.

Land of biodiversity

Oak and pine forests, poplar and streamside ash groves, meadows, scrubland of Juniper, Cistus, Thyme, Lavender and Rosemary: the richness of the habitats present within Mira Luna allows the animal and plant species it shelters to thrive.
Our vines are grown in organic farming and according to the principles of biodynamics, with care and passion by our Head of Cultivation and his team, having at heart to offer you the best quality by favoring low yields and very limited productions.
Harvest & Winemaking
Meticulous work in the vineyards and a rigorous selection of grapes and vintages produce pure, expressive and intense wines.
Our grapes are harvested when ripe, after checking the sugar/acidity balance, and are hand-picked at night for pressing in the early hours of the morning when temperatures are still cool. Each plot is harvested and extracted separately and the first fraction obtained by pressing is vatted and vinified separately.
An exceptional Syrah for a red wine while complexity and elegance
For this wine at once powerful and silky, infusing singular aromas of garrigue, we chose the plots of Syrah in restanques, exposed full south and scented with wild thyme.
In order to make this wine reflect with authenticity the character of the Syrah on the singular terroir of Mira Luna, we have chosen a cultivation in terracotta amphora, allowing to preserve the fruit while making the tannins silky.
- Harvest
Harvest by hand the night of September 25, 2023
- Winemaking method
. Destemming, pressing and embossing of grapes in concrete vats . Cold maceration of a few days to develop the fruitiness, then fermentation at controlled temperature with daily remontages. . Finally, light maceration under marc to work the fat and the creaminess of the tannins. . Placing in clay amphora for malolactic fermentation and aging on fine lies for 1 year.
- Selected plot
The Syrah vines that offer us this wine of character are cultivated in restanques and bathed in sun thanks to a southern exposure. The limestone pebbles particularly abundant on these plots accumulates and then returns the heat of the day during the cool nights, and thus allows the full aromatic expression of the beautiful Syrah.
