Orénia Rouge
Orénia Rouge is a red wine that combines power and finesse in perfect harmony. Sourced from the sun-drenched vineyards of the Rhone in southern France, this wine is a creation of Domaine Orénia, led by passionate winemaker Philippe Nusswitz.
This wine is made from a blend of two grape varieties: Syrah and Grenache. Syrah grapes provide powerful aromas of black fruit, pepper, leather and violet, while Grenache grapes add fruitiness and sweetness with notes of red fruit, cherries and raspberries.
After careful hand harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. The fermentation takes place at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the fruit notes. The wine is then aged for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, adding complexity and structure.
Pour the Orénia Rouge and experience an intense nose of black fruit, red fruit, leather, pepper, violets and spices. The taste is powerful and structured with ripe tannins, a perfect balance between fruit and acidity and a long, persistent aftertaste.
Wine - Food pairing
Orénia Rouge is perfect to combine with dishes of red meat, game, stews and grilled vegetables. The strength and complexity of the wine match perfectly with the intense flavors of these dishes.

Philippe Nusswitz
Philippe Nusswitz comes, as his name suggests, from Alsace. Here he has worked for a long time as a passionate sommelier, including at Auberge de l'Ill of the Haeberlin family, a restaurant with three Michelin stars. In 1986 he was named 'best sommelier in France'.
But his passion for wine goes beyond the sommelier profession. In the early 2000s he visited the town of Durfort in the Cévennes. The climate, the location at the foot of the mountains and the pure, authentic life have captured him: he sees himself and his family living here and making wine. Together with his wife Pascale and his children, he settled in an old 17th century 'mas' in Durfort in 2002. The couple wants to invite people and share their love for the area and the wines, and decide to rent out some of the rooms to visitors.
Philippe appears to have a talent for winemaking. He throws himself into this with the same passion and drive as in his position as sommelier. Philippe likes to work as purely and cleanly as possible. His wines are powerful and elegant, robust but also fresh. This freshness has to do with the climate: it can be quite hot during the day in summer, but the surrounding mountains cool it down considerably at night, which preserves the freshness in the wines.
