Vineyard notes: The Domaine Larroque is situated in the Saiss Plain on the high continental plateau between the Rif and Atlas Mountains; the area has its own geographical appellation and has been known since Roman times as a source of high quality wines. The Appellation of Guaranteed Origin is Beni M’Tir. The area with low rainfall, cold nights and sunny hot days is perfect for the production of high quality, healthy grapes, which easily reach full maturity in these ideal conditions.
