Nestled at the base of Mont Ventoux in the Southern Rhône, the organic Anne Pichon estate produces the aptly named "Sauvage" Orange. This striking skin-contact wine is an inventive blend of 70% Roussanne and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, macerated on the skins for five days to extract its beautiful color and texture. It delivers a powerful, complex nose of dried apricots and white blossoms. On the palate, you'll find elegant notes of grapefruit, orange zest, fresh green almond, and a touch of herbal tea, all framed by soft, velvety tannins and a crisp, mineral-driven finish.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
