Domaine Ortola, Languedoc AOP, white, biodynamic wine, from € 9.95

Good wines like the Domaine Ortola Languedoc AOP white are made in the vineyard, this is especially true for organic wines and biodynamic wines, as their producers do not have access to some technical options and chemical means to correct errors during the wine processing.

Biodynamic wine - profile  

• Color: light with sunny reflections
• Nose and mouth: In the nose, a whole basket full of white flowers combines intensity and elegance. This spring-like finesse continues on the palate, where fresh fruity aromas merge into a pleasant mouthfeel.
• Enjoyment recommendation: Ideal as an aperitif served at 9-11 °C, also with fish, shellfish from the sea, vegan or vegetarian dishes.
• Speaking of aperitifs: Sweet cocktails based on fruit juices and alcohol, served in full, large glasses, are not aperitifs, because sugar covers and sticks together the taste buds in the mouth and hinders them the sense of taste for the food served afterwards.

Winemaking, like the cultivation of the vines and the care of the vineyard, takes place in compliance with the principles of biodynamics. The grapes are harvested manually, then immediately pressed and spontaneously fermented with the grapes' own yeasts at a low temperature for about 10 days.
