Product Description

Les Deux Albions Blanc shows the salty minerality typical of limestone terroir with notes of dried apricots and white flowers. The plantings near Violès include Bourboulenc, Marsanne, Viognier, Picpoul, Clairette, and Ugni Blanc, and all varieties will be included in future bottlings.

Viognier aged in neutral barrels has a full body and rich texture with just-medium acidity. It is easily paired with dishes that feature creamy sauces, mild white fish, and roasted pork or chicken. Picpoul brings acidity to the blend and gives this wine salinity, making it a superb choice for cooked or raw shellfish.

Orange wine is a type of white wine that is made using a traditional method that is more commonly associated with red wine production. The grapes used to make orange wine are white wine grapes, but the juice is fermented with the skins, seeds, and stems for a longer period of time than is typical for white wine, often several weeks to several months. This extended skin contact gives the wine its distinctive orange color, as well as a fuller body and a range of flavors and aromas that are not found in traditional white wines. Orange wine is typically dry and can have a slightly tannic, rustic quality, with notes of stone fruit, nuts, and honey. It is sometimes described as having a "skin-fermented" flavor profile and is prized by some wine enthusiasts for its unique and complex taste. Orange wine is produced in limited quantities and can be more challenging to find than other types of wine.
