WINE DESCRIPTION
Véronique’s vineyards in the Languedoc and Rhône Valley are renowned for their commitment to terroir, crafting wines that embody the unique character of each grape variety. Through close collaboration with local winegrowers, Véronique has consistently produced wines of outstanding taste and quality, honoring the land and its natural bounty.
The “Wild Pig” label pays tribute to Greta, a wild pig Véronique befriended in Languedoc. Known for her yearly visits to the vineyard just before harvest, Greta once sustained an injury, and Véronique nursed her back to health. Released on Saint Margaret’s Day, Greta became a symbol of the vineyard, inspiring wines that capture her untamed spirit.

ORIGINS
Winery: Wild Pig
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
