Verdejo
Vineyard located in the high terraces of Corbières in the town of Ribaute. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate where daytime warmth is balanced by nighttime coolness due to its average altitude. This fosters the aromatic development of the grapes during maturation, allowing for the crafting of a range of concentrated wines while maintaining balance in acidity. The Verdejo plot is planted in a marly soil.
Utmost care is given to managing the vineyard and the health of the grapes. The vines are pruned using the 'palmette' method to best distribute the grape load on each vine. Verdejo vines are hand-harvested, and each bunch is meticulously selected. Destemming is carried out, followed by transfer into amphorae. The grapes naturally begin their fermentation process.
Throughout the fermentation process, the juice remains in contact with the grape skin. This allows for a gentle extraction of aromatic compounds and those that give the characteristic color to the orange wine. After 3 weeks in amphorae, the wine is transferred to barrels where it will develop its complexity. We age the wine in barrels for 9 months before bottling it on the eve of the new harvest.
Perfect for white poultry dishes, pan-fried mushrooms. and hard cheese such as Comté or Beaufort
An approachable orange wine that reflects the identity of the Verdejo with its citrus notes and orange blossom aromas. Some pleasant green notes reminding the fennel are revealed on the palate with a discreet hint of flint on the final, a characteristic of our terroir.
