Famile Fabre - Vin Orange, Generation, Vin de France (2022)

TASTING NOTES

A wine with grass and herbal notes on the nose and soft fuzzy tangerine on the palate along with candied orange, balsamic and lemon zest. A really lovely east drinking orange wine - smooth with a slight bite on the back palate.

Picked at night to preserve aromatic potential, the wine is macerated on the skins for 3 weeks, fermentation by indigenous yeasts, partial malo and aging on the lees in dolium and amphorae with partial aging in chestnut wood barrels.

Perched on the Miocene hills at the the start of the massif des Corbières. The soil is varied with some siliceous pebbles rolled in a limestone matrix dating back to the Miocene.

The massif mountains filter the clouds brought in by the sea breezes. The Cers, wind from the north west, is channeled by Mount Alaric and blows strong and dry through the valley reducing disease pressure and heat.
