A skin-contact white with a celestial twist, Félicette First Contact is where adventure and precision meet in the glass. This beautifully crafted co-ferment of Grenache Gris and Muscat hails from the Agly Valley’s windswept vineyards, where stony soils and Mediterranean sunshine set the scene for vibrant, characterful fruit. After a cool 20-day maceration with daily pump-overs, the wine is pressed and left to finish fermentation, developing a gentle texture and layers of expressive flavour.
Chilled, it’s electric with citrus peel and pithy brightness. As it slowly warms, things shift: delicate florals emerge, sweet spice weaves in, and the wine opens into something quietly complex and totally compelling. Made in small batches by the ever-inquisitive Terres Fidèles crew, it’s a skin-contact wine that balances freshness with finesse—curious, vibrant, and hard to forget.
