Ornezon Picpoul de Pinet 2024
Vignerons de Florensac is the cooperative at the heart of one of France's oldest Mediterranean vineyard sites, where cooling sea breezes from the nearby coast temper the summer heat and preserve the freshness and balance that make Picpoul de Pinet so distinctive. Sustainability is central to everything they do, from eco-friendly vineyard practices to solar-powered refrigeration in the cellar, all under the guidance of oenologist Roques Stephane. Why You'll Love It Picpoul de Pinet is one of the great underrated whites of southern France, and Ornezon is a benchmark example. Bracing, zesty, and mouth-wateringly fresh, it delivers everything you want from the variety: vibrant citrus, bright acidity, and a clean, refreshing finish that makes it one of the most food-friendly whites around. Night harvesting to protect the delicate aromatics, lees ageing for added richness, and solar-powered production make this a wine you can feel good about drinking, too. Vineyard & Production The vineyards are planted on elevated sites with clay and limestone soils in the Florensac terroir, farmed sustainably without chemical intervention. To protect the grapes' delicate aromatics, harvesting takes place at night when temperatures are cooler, preventing oxidation and preserving fruit integrity. After gentle pneumatic pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel at low temperatures using cultured yeasts. The wine is then aged on fine lees with regular stirring to enhance richness and roundness. Natural pest management and solar-powered refrigeration complete a genuinely green production process. Tasting Notes Pale yellow with green hues. Aromas of grapefruit and citrus leap from the glass, fresh and vibrant, leading to a palate of bracing citrus and ripe stone fruit. Bright acidity ensures a clean, mouth-watering finish that is as refreshing as it is versatile. Perfect Pairings A classic partner for oysters, moules mariniere, grilled sea bass, ceviche, prawns, and lighter seafoo
Vidal Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Vidal Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and expressive Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing intense aromas of passionfruit and fresh herbs. The palate is lively and layered, with tropical fruit flavours and crisp, refreshing acidity, delivering a classical expression of this celebrated New Zealand wine region. Why You'll Love It This is Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at its finest—vibrant, aromatic, and beautifully expressive. Crafted from premium vineyards in Marlborough's Awatere and Wairau Valleys, this wine reflects the distinct terroir of the region. Attention to vine health, sustainable viticulture and careful winemaking ensures a wine of clarity, precision and intensity. The result is a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with exceptional aromatic intensity and refreshing character. Vineyard & Production Grapes are sourced from a mix of alluvial soils over papa silt and gravel in Marlborough's Awatere and Wairau Valleys, with river stones enhancing drainage and concentration. These low-yielding sites, combined with meticulous vineyard management, produce grapes of exceptional quality and flavour. The 2024 harvest benefitted from low winter rainfall and cooler flowering conditions, which reduced yields and increased concentration. Marlborough's classic warm days and cool nights allowed the fruit to ripen fully while preserving vibrant acidity. Grapes were gently pressed and cool-fermented to retain their aromatic profile, with selected components aged briefly on lees to add mid-palate weight and texture. Tasting Notes This vibrant Sauvignon Blanc opens with bright aromas of passionfruit, citrus and fresh herbs. The palate is lively and layered, showing tropical fruit flavours including passionfruit and citrus, balanced by crisp acidity. The finish is long, refreshing and expressive, showcasing the classic character of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine, perfect with fish, shellfish, chicken, fresh salads, goat cheese, or Asian cuisi
