Mas d'Intras: Family-Owned Organic Winery

Mas d'Intras has proudly operated as an independent winegrower since 1982 in the picturesque Ardèche region of southern France. This small family business, rooted in tradition, has been passed down through generations, reflecting a deep commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship over the past 17 years.

Climate and Grape Varieties

The Bas-Vivarais area enjoys a warm and dry climate, influenced by Mediterranean conditions that have developed over the last three decades. The region experiences dominant northeast winds, while southern and western winds bring essential moisture during spring and autumn. The Mistral wind, known for its strength, contributes positively to vine health by reducing humidity. The primary grape varieties cultivated at Mas d'Intras include Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan, which are integral to many Côtes-du-Rhône blends.
