Chateau SAINT CYRGUES SALAMANDRE ORANGE 2024

Costières de Nîmes is an appellation in transition. It received full AC status in 1986 and although notionally in the eastern part of the Languedoc, it shares the same topography, soil and climate as the southern Rhône (alluvial terroir of galet stones and sandstone). Château Saint-Cyrgues produce quality wines across the board. In the vineyard natural remedies are encouraged and work is done by hand. They are now certified organic. They have 60 hectares and have the full range of southern French varieties planted including Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Merlot, Marselan, Petit Verdot, Roussanne, Grenache blanc, Viognier, Muscat and Vermentino. In the cellar, there is an increasingly natural approach to fermentations and there are no intensive interventions in the wine making process. The wines are clean, friendly and excellent value for money.
