Tasting Notes
Organically grown Cinsault coming from a single vineyard filled with old vines that are tended to with the utmost care. La Vista is the lighter side of medium bodied or the heavier side of lighter bodied... Depends on how I am feeling. Either way it's packed with plush notes of ripe red berries and baking spice with very fine tannin that adds a layer of complexity to the wine which gives it a more serious edge to the juicy and forward primary fruit flavours. - Pete L
Domaine Ribiera is a small, artisanal estate in the Languedoc, founded in 2005 by François and Marie Ribiera. Situated in Aspiran, in the heart of the Hérault, the domaine farms just a few hectares of vineyards on limestone and clay soils, planted to a mix of Mediterranean and local varieties including Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Terret and Carignan, alongside small parcels of white grapes. The vines are cultivated organically, with a deep respect for biodiversity and minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar.
Winemaking is natural and restrained: fermentations are spontaneous, sulphur is rarely or sparingly added, and élevage is typically in concrete or old oak to preserve purity. The resulting wines are vivid, textured and often delicate in alcohol, expressing freshness and minerality rather than sheer power—an elegant counterpoint to the region’s more robust styles.
Domaine Ribiera has earned a strong reputation among enthusiasts of Languedoc’s new wave, celebrated for producing soulful, terroir-driven wines that are both approachable and distinctive.
