Haitza (80% Tannat, 20% Cab Sauv) is aged 18-months in foudre and demi-muid, and has sour cherry, blackcurrant, liquorice, and caramel on the nose. The palate is infinitely silky with wild black fruits (ripe, black cherry), remarkable persistence of subtle notes of menthol, eucalyptus and liquorice and tannins which are mellow but still fresh.

Michel Riouspeyrous is a native Basque. He met his Alsatian future wife Thérèse while on a charity mission to Africa. On their return to France, they got married and decided to start their own domaine by renting two hectares of vineyards.

Domaine Arretxea was born in 1989. Arretxea (from the Basque arre meaning stone and sea house) is a small six-hectare domaine entirely planted on south-facing terraces. Michel and Thérèse practise organic viticulture throughout their vineyard.
