Category: Orange Wine / Skin Contact

From 70 years old vines, then 2 weeks skin contact, 6 months aging in concrete tanks, and its mouthwatering orange color, this wine is floral and herbaceous bursting in flavors of mandarin, mango, apricot. So bright and fresh, Its well-balanced acidity and minerality makes it great to pair it with shellfish, cheeses and to share with friends on any sunny day.

Château Lestignac is managed by Camille & Mathias Marquet, a young couple who inherited the family farm in 2008. The farm originally included 17 hectares of vinifera vines, but the Marquets pared the vineyard down to the best sites and introduced a diverse garden and livestock into the mix to develop a true polyculture to complement their conscientious, organic farming style. 2009 was their first vintage under the banner of Lestignac and the couple began to introduce biodynamic farming in 2011. In addition to the vineyard, the farm is home to over 200 fruit trees, 80 chickens, and 20 sheep.
