Orénia Rouge Réserve Duché d'Uzès is a powerful red wine from the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France. Born from the passion of Domaine Orénia, led by Philippe Nusswitz, this wine embodies the strength and elegance of the region. The wine is made from a blend of Syrah and Grenache grapes, which thrive in the calcareous soils and under the warm Mediterranean sun.
After careful manual harvesting and vinification, the Orénia Rouge Réserve Duché d'Uzès matures for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels. This results in a complex wine with 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.
Orénia Rouge Réserve Duché d'Uzès is a perfect companion for various dishes. Surprise your taste buds by combining this wine with red meat, game, stews or grilled vegetables. The wine is not only a culinary experience, but also proof of the craftsmanship of Domaine Orénia.
Orénia Rouge Réserve Duché d'Uzès is a delicious red French Rhône wine from Philippe Nusswitz. This wine is made from Grenache and Syrah grapes.
Recommended serving temperature between 14°C and 16°C.
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.
