{"product_id":"mata-hari-orange-les-cigales-dans-la-fourmiliere-natural-wine","title":"Mata Hari Orange 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eMata Hari is Julie Brosselin's solo cuvée from Les Cigales dans la Fourmilière, made from 100% Grenache Blanc grown on clay and limestone soils in Montpeyroux, a village in the Hérault at the foot of the Larzac plateau. The vineyards are farmed organically, and the 2018 is bottled as Vin de France rather than under an AOC designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter hand-harvesting, the grapes undergo approximately one month of skin maceration. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in clay vessels, followed by aging in old oak barrels. The wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a deep amber-orange wine with a characteristic limpid hue from the extended skin contact. The Grenache Blanc variety contributes ripe stone fruit and candied citrus character, while the maceration adds texture, a gentle tannic grip, and savory complexity — dried herbs, hazelnut, and spice — without becoming heavy or extractive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 14.5% ABV, this is a full-expression orange wine that drinks well with food. Montpeyroux's significant diurnal temperature shifts — warm Mediterranean days cooled by winds off the Larzac plateau — help maintain freshness and structure despite the southern heat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Cigales dans la Fourmilière","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37975555113159,"sku":"CIGAMATA17C","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/julie-brosselin-mata-hari-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630819309","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/mata-hari-orange-les-cigales-dans-la-fourmiliere-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
