L'Orange is a skin contact blend from two sources. Most of the grapes comes from a 70-90 year old blanc and gris vines co-planted in the limestone soils of the Roc du Suzadou vineyard. The grapes are a mix of Terret Gris, Carignan Blanc, Macabeu, Marsanne, Muscat Blanc and Grenache Gris, and other rare indigenous varieties that haven't been identified.
Average age of vines: 70-90 years old
Vinification: L'Orange is naturally fermented in tank with whole bunches, and pressed after nine days of skin contact. It returns to tank and concrete to complete fermentation and ageing.
