Katie Jones is a legend of the Fitou region. Not only is she a Brit, but also produces some of the highest regarded wines in the region.

Katie made a risky purchase of a vineyard in Languedoc back in 2008. She had spent many years living and working there. But working in the wine industry, as she previously did, is one thing; having to produce wine is quite another.

She admits that there have been times when she’s questioned her decision but not frequently or for very long because nothing could have actually gone more smoothly: some very lovely things about her wines have been expressed by those who should know, they have won awards, and additional wineries were purchased.

This old vines Fitou shows what some of the oldest and best vines in the area can produce. This wine is made from the grapes from 15 of Katie’s tiny vineyards, including the first Fitou vineyard St. Roch, that are scattered around the Languedoc towns of Tuchan and Paziols. The age of the vines — the majority of which are over 100 years old and provide the wine freshness, depth, and a lovely texture — is unquestionably the key to this Fitou. Simple, supple, and succulent, with pure fruit from the hedgerow: blackberry, black cherry, roasted herbs notes with leathery finish.

Food pairing suggestion: Andouillette sausage Tortellini.

Did you know? Katie’s wines gained popularity from the very first vintage release. But not everyone was happy with her success. In March 2013 vandals broke into the tanks and destroyed the whole 2012 vintage of her Grenache Gris, just days before bottling. In order to support her in continuing to make wine, the patrons of the Naked Wines pre-ordered 30,000 bottles of her wine in just 48 hours.
