Overview

As the name suggests, L’Orange is not the typical Mediterranean white but copper-colored wine made from a blend of about 70% Marsanne, 15% Muscat, and the remainder Carignan Blanc, Terret, and Grenache Gris, and some other unidentified white varieties. These varieties are co-planted in limestone-rich soils alongside some Grenache and Carignan in typical Mediterranean fashion. L’Orange is fermented in tank, whole cluster, and pressed after 9-12 days of skin contact.
