Located in the sunny Languedoc countryside, Ricardelle de Lautrec is living up to its pioneering reputation with the introduction of its orange wine in 2021. While many estates have already embraced this intriguing trend, what sets Ricardelle de Lautrec apart from its competitors is its unique focus on biodynamics, bringing an extra dimension to this viticultural exploration.
The orange wine, with its characteristic amber hue, has become a popular expression in the region, seducing the palates of wine lovers. Despite this popularity, Ricardelle de Lautrec decided in 2021 to embark on this innovative venture, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to pushing back the boundaries of tradition.
The vinification process for the orange wine is based on a meticulous approach using biodynamic white grapes. It is a white maceration wine with the tannins of a red wine and the freshness of a white. Prolonged maceration with the skins produces an orange wine that transcends expectations, with a complex aromatic palette combining fruity and spicy tannic notes.
Through the bold marriage of orange wine and biodynamic viticulture, Ricardelle de Lautrec is paving the way for a new era of viticulture in the Languedoc. By pushing back the boundaries of tradition while remaining rooted in respect for nature, the estate is affirming its commitment to sustainable innovation in the world of wine.
