The grapes are selected from the plots at the base of the slopes that separate the property from the Mediterranean, thus benefiting from the breeze that brings freshness and humidity and tempers the sometimes dry, arid climate. These conditions allow the berries to maintain a good balance and to keep relatively fine skins. Altan d'Aussières is a wine that offers a superb expression of the classic Corbières grape varieties (Syrah, Grenache and Carignan). Both the vinification and ageing stages are carried out with a view to expressing the specific characteristics of each grape variety. Forty percent of the grapes are vinified with carbonic maceration in order to express the particularly distinctive aromatic markers of the Carignan and Syrah. The rest of the grapes are vinified traditionally in stainless steel and concrete vats. To preserve the pure expression of the terroirs obtained during the vinification process, the wine is aged without barrels to avoid any additional external aromatic input. The ageing process consists of 6 months in vats, then 8 to 10 months in bottles. This second period allows the wine to regain its fullness and cohesiveness after the ageing in vats and bottling. A beautiful concentration of fruit and aromas, Altan d'Aussières is a generous, full-bodied wine that offers a complex palette of flavours unique to the local terroir, with scents of the garrigue (broom, rock rose), and aromatic herbs (thyme, sage, juniper and rosemary). The batches produced by carbonic maceration give the blend a creamy, velvety and yet firm structure, with an aromatic palette of fresh, very ripe fruit (crushed berries, strawberries).

Since its re-foundation in 1973, the Scala Dei winery has been based on three fundamental pillars: altitude, soil and Grenache. However, the winery is also home to old vine Carignan, planted on slate slopes at the beginning of the 20th century. Scala Dei Heretge pays tribute to the winegrowers committed to the Priorat and the techniques of this heroic, mountain viticulture which date back to the middle of the last century. The Carignan grapes are sourced from four different vineyards with vines that  range in age from 80 to 117 years old. At the winery the typical minimal intervention techniques employed by Scala Dei for their Grenache based wines is adopted, so the wine reflects the peculiarity of the terroir that is so characteristic of Priorat slate soils. Fermentation takes place in open cement vats with 30% of the stems and then remains in contact with the skins for 30 days, from vatting to pressing. Limited to approximately 3,000 bottles, this is a rich red wine with savoury complexity and textured tannins.
