Domaine Treloar
Domaine Treloar
Yorkshireman Jonathan Hesford and his New Zealander wife Rachel Treloar created Domaine Treloar in 2006. All life-change stories need a catalyst, and theirs happened on September 11 2001. At the time, Jon and Rachel were living 500 metres from the World Trade Centre in New York. They watched both planes hit the twin towers and lost several friends and colleagues in the disaster. They lived like refugees for the following 3 months and Jon lost his job. Nevertheless, he thanked his lucky stars that he didn’t attend the meeting on the 110th floor that day. When the dust had settled (both literally and figuratively) Jon and Rachel decided to re-focus their lives to do something that inspired them. Both were very interested in wine – so they decided to become vignerons.

Rachel is from New Zealand and, as Jon had always had a high regard for its wines, they moved there to get a good grounding. Jon took a postgraduate diploma at Lincoln University, where hard work and commitment helped him to top the class. He was then offered a job as a winemaker at Neudorf Vineyards, one of the finest estates in the country, and in two years there he learned hands-on what it takes to make world-class wines. Jon and Rachel chose eventually to come to the Roussillon region of France to run their own estate, since they found New Zealand too remote and land prices too costly to start a vineyard that would not produce any grapes for three years.

They currently farm 10ha of old vines, planted in the Aspres hills of the Roussillon, on the edge of Mount Canigou. The Aspres are characterised by poor, stony soils lying over a clay and limestone subsoil. This gives the wines a particular elegance and freshness for the region. The vines are densely planted and range in age from 8 to 40+ years. Treloar employ best practices taken from local knowledge, New World techniques, current research and endless striving to make the best wines possible from the local grape varieties and terroir. They also follow a sustainable vineyard management program, predicting disease pressure before spraying, and are in the process of moving to more organic practices. No chemical fertilizers are used and they mow and cultivate to limit weed growth, erosion and vine vigour and are developing a natural wildlife habitat in the centre of the vineyards. 

The wines listed here are all 2006 – Domaine Treloar’s first ever vintage. And if these superb wines are anything to go by, this is a Domaine destined for a great future. So buy now, whilst prices are relatively low!

Ultra-pale straw/gold colour with green glints, with lovely grape and peach aromas. The palate is fresh and zingy, with typical "grapey" (honest!) flavours and hints of passion fruit and lime/lemon and a very decent length of flavour, with no hint of bitterness on the finish. Deliciously light on its feet, yet full of flavour - summer in a glass! Serve chilled.

A pale coloured, very slightly off-dry wine (residual sugar 3.8g/litre). Fantastic grapey and floral aromas with a hint of passion fruit and lemongrass. Subtle lime and peach flavours with a long creamy texture. Extremely fresh, fleshy fruit flavours, with great balance and none of the bitterness on the finish sometimes found in this style of wine.

Drink O.K to drink now, but will improve for up to 10 years
75% of the blend for this wine is aged in French barriques, 30% of which are new. Another deeply-coloured wine. Fresh bramble and blackcurrant fruits are complimented by exotic spices, leather and brioche, with a touch of charred oak. The palate is rich and concentrated, with a huge core of ripe red and black berry fruits, along with notes of cinnamon and clove. Tightly structured, it has fine tannins, excellent acidity and some interesting earthy/mineral notes - great balance and poise, even at this early stage. Although a joy to drink now - with food - this is undoubtedly a wine for the long haul (5 to 10 years).  Having learned his trade making wines at Neudorf in New Zealand, Jonathan Hesford has quickly captured the essence of making fine wine in Roussillon and, from his very first vintage at Treloar, this is a truly class act. Drink 2008 to 2018.
