Orange Santameriana triggers explosions in both the nose and mouth. And while the aromas escalate to remind you of peel, bergamot, sweet orange and orange, in the mouth you are confronted with intense and disparate elements. It's as if a supercharger has exploded the overall taste experience. The tannins are the perfect wrapping to the oily texture of the...
It is produced by spontaneous fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and apart from clarification to remove wine sludge, the wine is not subject to any other processing. Sulfite levels are very low in wine. Mature, rich in volume and oiliness which is "cut" and balanced by acidity. The result is soft, "tied", nothing stands out, as...

In 2020, the baton was passed on to Marie and Joseph de Maistre who took over the estate and cultivate it with organic farming principles and great care. For 15 years, no herbicides have ever been...
