Natural Wine
Libertango is a bright and expressive white wine that celebrates the freedom of natural winemaking. Grown in the rugged Alt-Empordà region of Catalonia, this field blend of Chenin Blanc, Macabeo, Parellada, and White Grenache offers a lively interplay of citrusy freshness and gentle floral notes. Hand-destemmed grapes see a short maceration, bringing out extra aromatic depth before fermenting in traditional amphora. Six months of aging in oak barrels lend a subtle roundness to its spirited acidity. Created by Vinyes Tortuga, who live among their vines and farm holistically, Libertango captures both a sense of place and an adventurous spirit in every sip.
Chute Libre from Terrain Vague is a red wine with an unusual story rooted in old Carignan vines from Fitou in the Languedoc region. Its journey began when the original 2022 vintage didn't finish fermenting, leaving a bit of residual sugar. To continue the process, the winemaker added freshly harvested Macabeo grapes from 2023, allowing them to soak for two months. This creative approach also included topping up with lees from another cuvée, giving Chute Libre extra character. The result is a light, lively red with a noticeably zesty acidity and a vibrant, fluid texture. It's a playful yet engaging wine that showcases the imaginative style of Terrain Vague, making it perfect for those who enjoy a bright twist on traditional reds.
Fan inconditionnelle de Christophe Guittet. Son orange de Muscat d'Alexandrie est sans aucun doute un des meilleurs oranges que j'ai pu goûter. Petits agrumes confits et petite finale amère. Bref fabuleux.

Caviste
Meet this unique orange wine from the Eastern Pyrenees of France. While it's made from white Muscat d'Alexandrie grapes, it gets its distinctive character from being processed like a red wine – the grape skins stay in contact with the juice for 12 days. The winemaker keeps things natural with organic farming and skips filtering, giving the wine its characteristic cloudy look with orange hints. You'll discover a mix of apple, lychee, and citrus flavors, with a gentle tang and a hint of saltiness that makes it perfect for pairing with savory dishes.
