La Traversee Terrasses du Larzac 2011

15 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.

About La Traversée

La Traversée is the realisation of a long-held dream to make a wine that honestly reflects the quality of the soils of the Terrasses de Larzac, where it is made.
