Produced by the award-winning co-operative Cave de l'Ormarine, this is classic Picpoul de Pinet AOP with exceptional balance and value.

Why You'll Love It

This is classic Picpoul de Pinet AOP from Cave de l'Ormarine, an award-winning co-operative in the Languedoc. Picpoul de Pinet is one of southern France's most distinctive white wines, grown near the Mediterranean lagoon of Étang de Thau, where the coastal influence imparts a characteristic saline minerality. The wine is produced from 15+ year old Picpoul vines grown on limestone-rich soils overlooking the lagoon. Night harvesting preserves freshness, while gentle pressing and fermentation without malolactic ensures crisp, zesty vibrancy. The result is a wine with perfect balance of freshness, minerality, and ripe fruit - bright and aromatic with ripe melon and citrus, lively acidity, and a long, clean mineral finish. This is exceptional value for a premium French white wine.
