Wild Mountain Aromas
The stony clay-limestone soil surrounding Chateau Cana is planted with Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah, as well as Mourvèdre and even Pinot Noir.
The wines that result from these vineyard conditions, aided by up to the minute technical wine-making, offer a blend of wild mountain fruit aromas mixed with dry herbs and spice, and sophisticated smooth-textured tannins.
The climate of the valley is very variable, which is why each vintage is so different. A mild wet winter with some cold spells; the spring is warm but often foggy; a hot summer humid until mid July and then drier – daytime and night time are generally more contrasted in August thereby accelerating the ripening of the grapes while preserving their aromatic freshness – the beginning of autumn is usually sunny with cooler temperatures.
