Orange dry
An aromatic dry orange wine from the Languedoc region of southern France, made from 100% ‘Muscat à petits grains’ grapes.
The nose reveals floral aromas, tropical fruit notes of pineapple and mango, and citrus zest. The palate is intense, fruity and fresh, with the aromatic character typical of ‘Muscat’, subtle herbal and almond nuances, and an enveloping texture.
The vineyards are located around Lunel-Viel in the Hérault department. The soils are characterised by rounded pebbles embedded in red clay rich in iron oxides. Siliceous soils are associated with freshness and finesse in the wines. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented as whole bunches, with extended maceration, before the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks. The estate follows organic viticulture principles, with winemaking focused on preserving the grape variety’s distinctive character and expressing the qualities of the site.
Serve: 8–10 °C; pairs well with seafood salads, ceviche, as well as classic Provençal tapenade or fresh mozzarella and tomato appetizers.
