Banyuls

Banyuls is an AOC located in the Roussillon region of France, known for its fortified wines produced primarily from Grenache grapes. The appellation is situated along the Mediterranean coast, characterized by steep terraced vineyards that benefit from a warm, sunny climate and the influence of the sea. Banyuls wines are typically made using a mutage process, where fermentation is halted by the addition of grape spirit, resulting in a rich, sweet profile. The legal boundaries of the appellation encompass specific communes, ensuring the preservation of traditional production methods and local terroir.
