In a few words ...
Orca means small amphora in Latin. The Ventoux vines were planted by the Romans. Produced mainly from very old, low-yield Grenache vines, Orca is made in the best years. Gently vinified, the wines are aged to refine their silky, gourmet structure.

Rich attack on the palate, with notes of ripe fruit, carried by aromas of fresh berry liqueur (blackcurrant/raspberry). The wood tannins melt and accompany the wine on the palate. Very long, fresh, full-bodied finish.

An aromatic, powerful (and even full-bodied!) wine. But on the palate, its aromatic evolution is complex and more than interesting. Best kept for a few years.

A wonderful discovery with this elegantly fruity cuvée supported by secondary aromas of leather and tobacco. Delicious with duck breast!

Well-balanced aromas of ripe fruit. Powerful wine with well-melted tannins. Long, complex finish. A sure bet!

A pleasant Ventoux, both powerful and fine, with good length on the palate. Ageing potential for this wine

Bon vin avec du caractère. Pourra peut-être encore s'améliorer avec quelques années en plus
Marrenon
Marrenon is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 29 wines available to purchase, including the wine Orca 2021.
Appellation
Ventoux
The appellation Ventoux is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Marrenon and its 29 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
