Orange Wine from Southwest France I Gascogne I O.G. Caaaaaaat 2021

O.G. Caaaaaaat 2021

Energetic
Electric
Tonic

Orange wine from the South-West! A carnival knockout punch.

Feeling like a smooth gangster? This skin-contact white wine – aka white wine made like a red, aka orange wine – burns bright like Sam “Ace” Rothstein’s suits in Casino. Its aromatic expression is rich and nuanced: orange peel, nutmeg, dried flowers… On the palate, it’s lively, with electric tension and a mineral-driven finish. Energetic and structured, this is a stunning orange wine paying tribute to how whites were made back in Antiquity.

A cold, rainy year, highly atypical after several warm vintages. Historic spring frost, rain, and disease pressure (mildew, powdery mildew). A challenging vintage for growers.

Very low, especially in Burgundy and Champagne.

Terroir

West-facing parcels planted on clay soils with Burdigalian limestone bedrock (ancient marine fossils in every handful of earth).

Vinification

Biodynamic farming. Hand-harvested with grapes sorted in the vineyard. The grapes are kept whole and macerate for 15 days before being gently pressed. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Zero additives throughout the entire winemaking process. The wine is born without clarification or filtration, relying entirely on natural settling during 18 months of ageing in stainless steel tanks, French oak barrels, and terracotta amphora. Unfiltered. No added sulfites. Pure juice.

Vigneron

A four-handed creation by Christophe Kaczmarek and Michel Maestrojuan of Domaine Entras, in Gascony.As always at Caaaaaaat, the wines are vinified, blended, bottled, and packed at the estate. From vineyard to cellar, everything is done with respect: regenerating soils, fostering biodiversity, and honoring the humans who make it all happen.
