Res Fortes Wines

All of Res Fortes wines are a pure expression of Roussillon’s unique terroir. They are a gateway to explore an ancient and unique region and its undiscovered wines of exceptional quality. <br> <br>Moritz spent many summer months as a child with his grandfather in the South of France, who would talk for hours with great passion about wine... and even let him try a little. Listening to him, Moritz’s fascination with wine began. <br> <br>After studying Wine Science at Brighton University’s Plumpton College, graduating in 2010, Moritz set out to travel the World and hone his winemaking skills in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, following the vintages. He worked in the USA, South Africa, France, New Zealand, Germany, and Australia, in well-known regions such as Sonoma Valley, Paarl, Roussillon, Bordeaux, Barossa Valley, Hawkes Bay, Riverland and the Mosel. <br> <br>While working for some of the world’s best wine producers, Moritz broadened his understanding of the processes and techniques required to make high quality wines from different grape varietals and volumes. Some of the well-known brands that Moritz has worked on are Chateau Bauduc, Mellasat, Kendall Jackson, Dr Loosen, Orin Swift, Delagat’s Barossa Valley Estates, Oyster Bay, and Penfolds. <br> <br>After working with dozens of amazing and talented winemakers all over the world and winning numerous prestigious awards and accolades, Moritz knew he was ready to break out on his own. “In 2014 I decided it was time to use what I had learnt from all over the World and create my own premiere vintage!” <br> <br>Moritz chose the Roussillon region and the village of Maury in the South of France as the place for the first vintage, knowing the potential for quality residing in the Pyrenees foothills where he purchased a 14 Hectare Organic vineyard and winery in September 2018. Since then, his wines have garnered a worldwide following. Res Fortes wines have achieved critical acclaim from Decanter, IWSC, Wine Enthusias
