About the estate:

Founded in 1922, L'Ormarine—formerly the Association of White Wine Producers of Pinet—is a key player in promoting the Picpoul-de-Pinet appellation. Following mergers with the cellars of Villeveyrac (2009) and Cournonterral (2014), and then in 2017 with the cellars of Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort and Vias, it now comprises 500 members and owns 2,500 hectares, 520 of which are dedicated solely to the Picpoul grape variety.
