Orange dry

Domaine Ampelhus Quartzite VdF Blanc 2023

29,00

Description

Orange. A new expression of the Muscat à Petits Grains grape: subtlety, elegance, lightness on the palate. The juice is pressed together with the stems, followed by a long maceration. Aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks, enhancing fruitiness and freshness. A blend of sweet fruit, tropical fruit aromas — lemon, ginger, tangerine — intertwined with floral notes. Spicy, fragrant, peppery. Flavors of dried fruit and pineapple, with restrained tannins reminiscent of green tea, and medium acidity. The finish reveals rosemary and thyme with a piquant, slightly bitter touch.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 10–12 °C with Asian cuisine, chicken with herbs and sauce, or more aromatic cheeses.

About brand

Domaine Ampelhus is a 12-hectare winery located in the Languedoc region of France. The estate is managed by former Lithuanian pharmacist Ženia Vasiljeva Vermillard and her husband Thibauld Vermillard, who took over the family vineyards in 2015. The producers apply biodynamic winemaking principles and have won the prestigious "Best Young Winemaker of France" award. The assortment is dominated by wines made from traditional and rare historical grape varieties.

Vineyard Characteristics

The vineyards of Domaine Ampelhus are distinguished by specific natural conditions and history:

  • Soil: Dominated by round stones (galets roulés) formed by the Rhône River 400,000 years ago. These stones accumulate the sun's heat and transfer it to the vines.
  • Vine Age: The harvest is gathered from 40 to 70-year-old vines planted by Thibauld's grandfather.
  • Grape Varieties: Alongside classic 'Muscat' or 'Grenache', the estate has revived and cultivates rare historical varieties – 'Piquepoul Noir', 'Terret Noir', and 'Rivairenc'.

Wine Style

The estate's production is focused on naturalness and revealing the true characteristics of the region:

  • White Wine: Stands out for its minerality, full texture, and pure aroma.
  • Red Wine: Features notes of red berries, freshness, and soft tannins.

Due to their well-balanced acidity, the wines can be enjoyed young, but the red wines possess a well-defined structure that allows them to continue maturing gracefully in the bottle.
