Type: Orange Wine (Natural / Zero-Sulfur)
Region: Vin de France, Roussillon, France
Grapes: 100% Macabeu (Maccabeu)
Alcohol ABV: 10%
Aroma:
Highly aromatic with notes of orange peel, apricot, white peach, preserved lemon, and citrus blossom. Layers of dried Mediterranean herbs, chamomile, white flowers, and crushed stone add remarkable freshness and complexity, while a subtle savoury character reflects its extended skin contact.
Palate:
Light-bodied yet intensely textured, with flavours of citrus peel, ripe stone fruits, grapefruit, and gentle tropical fruits. Fine phenolic grip and bright acidity create impressive tension, while a saline, mineral backbone leads to a long, dry, and savoury finish. Despite its structure, the wine remains exceptionally energetic and drinkable.
Hand-harvested old-vine Macabeu undergoes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts using whole clusters and approximately 30 days of carbonic skin maceration. The wine is then aged for around seven months in old French oak demi-muids before bottling unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulphur, staying true to the Brutal movement's zero-zero philosophy.
The fruit comes from organically and biodynamically farmed bush vines, many between 50 and 100 years old, in the village of Calce, Roussillon. The vineyards are rooted in schist, marl, and limestone soils under a warm Mediterranean climate moderated by the Tramontane wind, producing naturally low-yielding grapes with exceptional concentration, freshness, and mineral expression.
