Collovray & Terrier - 'Orange is the new wine' - 2021
Roussillon, France
Aromatic - Marmalade - Citrus
Muscat and Sauvignon Our vines are perched at 500 metres altitude, facing the Pyrenees mountains. The Muscats grow in barren, stony, fully south-facing slopes, and the Sauvignons, also southfacing, grow in deeper limestone clay soils. This is a skin-fermented white wine, in other words, a white wine made like a red wine. The grape skins are not pressed to avoid the extraction of excessive bitterness, which also enables the alcoholic content to remain lower since the skins retain a certain amount of sugar and alcohol. These are separated out by gravity. The two fermentations take place during this period in the vat, with wild yeasts and no addition of sulphites. The grapes are macerated on their skins for 14 days, then gently crushed to extract the juice. Fermentation is then completed in barrel, and the wine is aged in barrels that are several vintages old, for around one year.
As a licensed restaurant, by Ontario liquor law we are required to sell you a single food item if you purchase alcohol.
If you do not specify which food item you'd like your order will come with a bag of Miss Vickies Original chips. They're super tasty :)
