Maison Albera is a family winery established in the highest Altitude terroirs of Roussillon for 3 generations. We work on vines planted at more than 500 meters, on shale terroirs above the village of Tarerach, precisely on the Ropidaria plateau, a formation in circus between Pyrenees mountains and the Albères, backed by Mount Canigou, and facing the Vermeille coast, jewel of the Mediterranean sea.
  Over the years, this incredible configuration became real advantage in the context of global warming, high altitude and micro-climate of our terroirs allow late maturities, with a significant temperature gap between days and nights, better rainfall, giving more elegant wines, balanced in according to current trends, mineral whites, and fresh/tense reds.
Always looking for innovations, we work with rare grape varieties, such as Carignan Blanc, planted on less than 40 hectares in France, or Lladoner Pelut, a hairy mutation of Grenache, presenting remarkable resistance to high heat.
We also innovated in other areas, facing high heat, with for example the first test in Roussillon of cultivation under photovoltaic umbrellas.
Passionate and always aiming to make discover our high-altitude terroirs, it’s a great pleasure to invite you to come and taste our wines!
