Winery Château d'Aqueria

The property's documented origins date back to 1595, when Louis Joseph d'Aqueria purchased the land known as "Puy Sablonneux." Over the centuries the estate passed through several families; in the 20th century it was acquired by the Olivier/de Bez family, who led it for generations. In May 2022 the Guigal family acquired Château d'Aqueria, stating their intention to preserve the site's history and to further develop the wines of the Tavel and Lirac appellations.

A strong focus on the value of the terroir and on environmental protection: the estate implements agricultural practices aimed at conserving biodiversity and holds HVE certification. Vineyard work prioritizes hand-harvesting and vinification methods designed to highlight the typicity of Tavel and Lirac.

The domaine is located in the Tavel and Lirac area of the southern Rhône Valley. Soils range from clay-sandy around the castle to calcareous and gravelly on the terraces; these differences allow the production of both the renowned Tavel rosé and the Lirac red and white wines.
