  • It is a refreshing orange wine with intriguing candied orange peel, citrus, and curry spice aromas. Delicious grapefruit, peach, and delicate ginger notes on the palate lead to a long, crisp finish.

The vinification is characterised by a long, skin-contact maceration lasting for four months in cool temperatures between 4 and 5°C to extract the delicate orange colour. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in a terracotta egg-shaped amphora. The ovoid shape sets the lees into perpetual motion, naturally accentuating the varietal aromas and minerality while requiring minimum intervention from the winemaker. The wine was clarified through cool temperatures and lightly filtered.

It is an aromatic and complex orange wine with intriguing aromas of candied orange peel, citrus and a touch of spice. On the palate, delicious grapefruit, peach and delicate ginger notes lead to a long, crisp finish.

Winery

The Muscat à Petit Grains grapes come from the Côtes Catalans, the principle IGP allowing only mono-varietal wines. The vines thrive at an altitude of 325 metres in the Haute Vallée de l'Agly, in the Roussillon region. The climate is Mediterranean, strongly influenced by cooling coastal breezes combined with mountain freshness from the foothills of the Pyrenees, which balance the hot, arid summers. The terroir is made up of a mosaic of black schist soils dating back to the Cretaceous period. The schistous marl produces shallow soils, which force the vines to send their roots deep in search of water and nutrients. The vineyard is certified organic, and no herbicides or chemicals are used. Yields are kept low to ensure a good concentration of pure fruit flavours, and the grapes are hand-harvested.
