Salamandre 2025 Orange

PRODUCER INFO

Château Saint Cyrgue is located in the south of France near Nimes. It is one of the most southerly vineyards in the Rhône valley.
Mistral winds blow throughout the year and the southern exposure of the estate allows the grapes to ripen well giving the wine its racy and fine character.
Fruit comes from south-facing terraces with soil made up of clay and pebbles deposited by the Rhône river.
Certified organic since 2014.

ABOUT THE WINE

A lighter orange wine. 10 days on skins give this Grenache Blanc a gentle character and body.
Late August harvesting at night and early morning. Cool nights refresh grapes and help maintain zesty, fresh fruit aromas.
Organic fruit and native yeast. Temperature controlled tanks during all vinification.
Great as an aperitif. Pair with chorizo cake, eggplant lasagna, ratatoutille, and fish.
