Made exclusively from Piquepoul Blanc grown within the unique appellation of Picpoul de Pinet a few kilometres inland from the Mediterranean sea, this dry white wine is fresh and fruity with an elegant finish.
Producer: Cave de l’Ormarine
Grape Variety: Grape option
Vinification Details: Cyril Payon is a meticulous producer and he carefully selects and picks his grapes at different times to capture different flavour profiles. They are de-stemmed and macerated on their skins. Racking lasts for 24 hours, followed by a fifteen day fermentation and the malo-lactic fermentation is blocked. The wine is fined and filtered before being bottled in the traditional fluted bottle
History: Cave de l’Ormarine is an award winning Cave producing wines from the tiny Pinet appellation, in the Hérault. Set up in 1992, but with a history dating back to 1922 Cave de l’Ormarine has made significant investment in the winery, and prides itself on the high standard and traceability of its grapes
Regional Information: Cave de l’Ormarine’s vineyards lie at approximately 40 metres above sea level on a chalky clay plateaux, rich in Cretaceous limestone and loaded with quartz gravel chippings. To the North, the vineyards are dominated by limestone hills that date from the Jurassic Period. The vineyards lie to the North of the Lac de Thau and slope towards it

Tasting Notes: Exuberantly fresh on the palate with ripe white peach, mango fruit, a slightly salty tang and underlying minerality. This is flavoursome and concentrated yet fine and elegant wine with a very long, fresh and elegant finish. Sparkling
