Domaine Joel Delaunay 'Casca Maceration de Soif' Vin Orange

The ripe Sauvignon Blanc grapes underwent a 15-day maceration on the skins in stainless-steel tanks, in order to extract the aromas, flavours and delicate tannins that are typical of this wine. The must was then fermented on its skins without temperature control and very few pump overs. Following racking, the wine was aged for between 3 and 12 months on its fine lees, with no lees stirring.

This wine is deep orange-hued in colour and reveals bold aromas of dried mandarin zest, honey and almonds. The palate is clean and fragrant with orange peel and honeysuckle notes coming to the forefront, backed up by a grippy texture. This deliciously complex wine has an elegant minerality, superb structure and long finish.
