✨ wine.spec_sheet
Gerard Bertrand's Orange Gold is a vibrant tribute to the historic skin-contact wines that originated thousands of years ago in Georgia. Crafted in the sun-drenched Languedoc region of the South of France, this modern interpretation blends classic Mediterranean grape varieties, typically including Chardonnay, Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne, Mauzac, and Muscat. The grapes undergo fermentation with their skins, a traditional technique that coaxes out a brilliant amber-gold hue, a subtle tannic structure, and an aromatic profile rich in candied citrus, white flowers, and light spices. It represents a bridge between ancient winemaking heritage and contemporary French art de vivre.
