Valerie Courreges Orange Metalik 2022

Vin de France

Valerie Courreges Orange Metalik is a delicious orange wine from the Cahors region of southwest France. While working as an enologist in Provence, Valérie Courrèges was looking for an outstanding terroir and, in 2019, came across the perfect opportunity to settle in Cahors. Now based in the Southwest, Valérie tends 22 hectares of old vines rooted in a sublime terroir of clay and limestone. Her first order of business at the winery was to convert all of its vineyards to biodynamic farming, in accordance with the Demeter certification. Her philosophy is simple and refreshing: “I make wines to enjoy - it’s about conviviality and simplicity. You don’t need to be a wine connoisseur - the main thing is to take pleasure and enjoy!”

Valerie Courreges Orange Metalik is 100% Vermentino from 40-year-old vines in limestone/clay soil. Grapes are harvested by hand and pressed directly to extract the juice. Maceration for 30 days. Whole-grapes fermentation with native yeasts. Citrus, stone fruit, and mineral notes with a crisp, refreshing finish.

Enjoy Valerie Courreges Orange Metalik with grilled swordfish, roast chicken, roasted vegetables, and soft cheeses.
