The estate'sPrestige cuvée is made from a very strict selection of old vines, where the grapes are harvested at night to preserve the freshness of the fruit. Careful and rigorous work goes into this truly enjoyable wine, which expresses itself with delicate notes of lychee and pear, evolving into aromas of white flowers... A summer pleasure to be discovered!

About the estate:

Founded in 1922, L'Ormarine—formerly known as the Association des producteurs de vins blancs de Pinet (Association of White Wine Producers of Pinet)—is a major player in defending the Picpoul-de-Pinet appellation. Following mergers with the Villeveyrac (2009) and Cournonterral (2014) wineries, then in 2017 with the Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort and Vias wineries, it now has 500 members and 2,500 hectares, 520 of which are dedicated solely to the Piquepoul grape variety.

It goes very well with shellfish and grilled fish, but beware of the Picpoul trend: prices are becoming excessive.
