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.
