In 2006, the Grier family, owners of Villiera Wines in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa, realised their dream of owning a vineyard in the South of France.

Their lengthy love affair with France began in 1983 after meeting Jean Louis Denois from Champagne, who later moved to Limoux in the South of France.

Regular visits to the area culminated in a growing interest to become physically involved. Jean Louis Denois identified the Fenouilledes in Roussillon as prime "terroir" for the creation of top quality reds. Early in 2006, the ideal site became available and the Griers grabbed the opportunity to put in an offer which was accepted.
