Domaine De Cala

The history of Domaine de Cala dates back to the 14th century. At the time, it was known as Domaine de Pourraques, named after the Provençal word for the small white narcissus flowers that carpeted the land.

It was only much later (after crossing paths with a poultry-farming prince and a Polish countess) that wine began to be grown on the estate. The original vineyard covered a mere 25 hectares and produced a rosé which was mainly sold in bulk.

In 2015, Chef Joachim Splichal bought the property and renamed in Domaine de Cala.

This bon vivant has always loved Provence. And its cuisine. Here, he has doffed his chef’s hat and rolled up his sleeves to endow his land with all the lustre and stature of a 21st century winery.

At the same time, he has preserved its authenticity and its charm. These days, more than 40 hectares of grapevines thrive on the hillside, growing to the tune of the cicadas and the birds.

And the white, red and rosé wines patiently mature in the storehouse, keeping time with the harvests.
