Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Tramontane and Consolation known for?
Tramontane and Consolation are known for producing wines that reflect the breadth and diversity of southern French viticulture. Tramontane specialises in classic, terroir-driven wines that showcase varietals such as Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Mourvèdre for reds, and Grenache Blanc, Macabeu, and Vermentino for whites. These wines tend to be structured, balanced, and elegant, often with a nod to traditional winemaking techniques. Consolation, on the other hand, takes a more creative and unconventional approach, offering single-varietal wines or unique blends that highlight intensity, bold flavours, and innovative styles. The whites may show vibrant acidity and aromatic lift, while the reds often carry deep fruit concentration and expressive spice notes. Together, the two labels offer a well-rounded collection that appeals to both lovers of classic French wines and those seeking modern, adventurous expressions.

Where are Tramontane and Consolation wines made?
Tramontane and Consolation wines are crafted in southern France, particularly in the Roussillon region and areas influenced by the nearby Pyrenees. This location benefits from a Mediterranean climate with abundant sunshine, warm summers, and cooling winds—most notably the Tramontane wind, which helps maintain vineyard health and grape freshness. The soils are incredibly varied, ranging from schist and granite to limestone and clay, offering distinctive characteristics to the wines. The elevated sites closer to the mountains provide cooler conditions, producing wines with greater acidity and aromatic complexity, while lower-lying, sun-drenched vineyards yield richer, more robust styles. The winemaking approach focuses on minimal intervention to preserve the natural expression of these terroirs, whether the aim is the classic elegance of Tramontane or the bold experimentation of Consolation.

What are the best Tramontane and Consolation wines?
Among the most highly regarded Tramontane wines are their classic blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan, which deliver depth, structure, and a refined balance of ripe fruit and savoury notes. Their white wines, such as those based on Grenache Blanc or Vermentino, are praised for their freshness, minerality, and textural richness. From Consolation, standout wines often include intense single-varietal Syrah or bold blends that push stylistic boundaries while maintaining precision and focus. These wines are known for their concentrated flavours, layered complexity, and ability to age gracefully. Many critics and enthusiasts appreciate how both ranges complement each other—Tramontane offering timeless, elegant expressions of the region, and Consolation providing a more adventurous, innovative take. Together, they represent some of the finest and most characterful wines emerging from southern France.

Are Tramontane and Consolation wines affordable?
Tramontane and Consolation wines generally offer excellent value, especially considering their artisanal production methods and the quality of vineyard sites they draw from. While certain limited-production or flagship wines may command higher prices due to their rarity and winemaking complexity, many wines from both ranges remain accessible to a broad audience. The Tramontane collection, with its classic and versatile styles, often provides outstanding quality at a mid-tier price point, making them ideal for frequent enjoyment. Consolation’s more experimental offerings may be slightly higher in cost, reflecting their unique character and often smaller batch sizes, yet they still represent strong value compared to other premium wines from southern France. For wine lovers seeking both tradition and innovation at fair prices, these ranges deliver on both counts.
