Today, it’s run by father and son team Jean-Pierre and Loïc, who focus on organic, expressive wines that celebrate their sun-drenched Mediterranean terroir. Certified organic since 2016, the estate is all about honest winemaking with a light touch: just grapes, soil, and time.</p><h3>About Orange wine</h3><p>Orange wine is made by fermenting white grapes on their skins, a method more commonly used for red wines. The result? A wine with extra colour, texture, and flavour depth. You’ll often find notes of dried fruit, herbs, or spice, and a bit of tannin that gives it structure. </p><h3>How to pair it</h3><p>This is a super versatile food wine. Pair it with mezze spreads, grilled halloumi, herby chicken, or roasted squash. It’s also great with spiced dishes, fermented foods, or soft cheeses like brie and burrata. Basically, it’s great for a picnic or BBQ.</p>
