Reflecting two hot vintages, the wine is dark and full of spice with note of plum, prune and blackberry.

This Vin de France is a blend of two vintages, with a majority of 60% of the grapes coming from 2018 and the remaining from 2019. The blend consists of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, all of which are handpicked and de-stemmed manually. The ageing process takes place in 500L and 600L barrels, as well as stainless steel vats. The wine is bottled using gravity rather than a pump, without filtration. Only the finest grapes are used, with no additional ingredients added at any point in the production process.

About Ormiale

Founded in 2007, Ormiale is situated in the north of the Entre-deux-Mers region, 15 Kilometers south of St. Emilion and 8km from Castillon la Bataille.

The 2 hectares on the Côtes de Castillon and Côtes de Francs are Demeter certified bio-dynamically grown vines, which consist of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The main wine "Ormiale" is vinified and bottled on the property as an appellation Bordeaux contrôlée.

The harvests are handpicked and completely hand de-stemmed since 2010 and loaded into conical french-oak vats and stainless steel vats. In here, the fruit is left to ferment un-sulphited and the fermentation is assisted with natural yeast. Vinification takes 4-5 weeks depending on the vintage.

The duration of the maturation of the wines is +/- 18 months. The natural wines of Ormiale are unfiltered and there is no use of albumen. Sulphites are only occasionally used when necessary, before bottling.
