Domaine De La Mongestine, Bob Singlar, Orange
Domaine de la Mongestine is a young estate pursuing organic viticulture with biodynamic principles in a region known for mass produced rosé for easy poolside enjoyment. However, new owners Harry and Celine Gozlan envision a project focused on farming with great care and making wines simply. The estate was certified organic in 2014 and is now undergoing the process of transition to biodynamic viticulture as well.
Presentation
Further breaking the mold for Provence winemaking, la Mongestine produces their wines with minimal intervention. None of the wines see sulfur until bottling. Native yeast fermentations allow the estate to showcase the different terroirs of their estate. They avoid barrel aging preferring inert tanks and amphora, which allows for micro-oxygenation but does not obscure their terroir.
Vinification
Made by leaving the grape skins and seeds in contact with the juice, creating a deep orange-hued finished product. This is a natural process that uses little to no additives, not even yeast. Vinted in stainless steel vessels, fermented with native yeasts, and bottled with minimal sulfur. A simple approach to winemaking to produce an exemplary and delicious orange wine.
