L'Ormarine 'Carte Noire' Picpoul de Pinet
12.5% ABV
France
Yellow with bright highlights, generous notes of white fruits and citrus. Well balanced and lively on the palate with delicate lemony notes. Cave de l'Ormarine is an award winning Cave producing wines from the tiny Pinet appellation, in the Hérault. Set up in 1992, but with a history dating back to 1922 Cave de l'Ormarine has made significant investment in the winery, and prides itself on the high standard and traceability of its grapes. Cave de l'Ormarine's vineyards lie at approximately 40 metres above sea level on a chalky clay plateaux, rich in Cretaceous limestone and loaded with quartz gravel chippings. To the North, the vineyards are dominated by limestone hills that date from the Jurassic Period. The vineyards lie to the North of the Lac de Thau and slope towards it. Picked at optimum ripeness, balancing phenolics and acidity then cool vinified to enhance the fresh fruit flavours. No oak was used to keep this wine as pure and sensual as possible. From vines which grow near Southern France's Bassan de Thau, famed for the quailty of its oysters and mussels, the freshness of this wine is the perfect match for shellfish, seafood or grilled fish.
