Cave L'Ormarine Picpoul de Pinet Selection

Cave de l'Ormarine is an award-winning co-operative which produces wines from the tiny Pinet de Picpoul appellation in the Hérault. The Ormarine cellar was established in 1922 when vignerons from Pinet joined forces and formed a winegrowers' association.

Cave de l'Ormarine's vineyards lie at approximately 40 metres above sea level on a chalky clay plateau, rich in Cretaceous limestone and quartz. The vineyards lie to the North of the Lac de Thau and slope towards it. Cyril Payon oversees the production and grapes are carefully selected and picked at different times to capture different flavour profiles. 

Tasting notes: Bright citrus and soft stone fruit on the nose, carried through the palate with a lovely savoury quality, deliciously fresh acidity and a lick of salinity which make it highly moreish. Perfect on its own or with oysters, mussels, and grilled fish.
