Les Vignobles Torpez, Côtes de Provence Bravade 2024 White

Les Vignobles Torpez Côtes de Provence Bravade Blanc 2024 is a refined Provençal white wine with a bright, saline character and excellent freshness. Its careful parcel-by-parcel handling and use of the first, free-run juice give the cuvée an elegant expression of the Mediterranean Côtes de Provence appellation.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a beautiful golden-green colour with bright yellow reflections. On the nose, it offers lively aromas of citrus fruit, lime and quince, complemented by subtle spicy notes. On the palate, it is fresh, crisp and fruit-driven, with a juicy, saline minerality and delicate bitter tones that add length and complexity. The wine is particularly enjoyable in its youth, when its vibrant fruit and freshness are at their most expressive, though it should develop gracefully over the short term.

Production
The hand-harvested grapes were placed in crates and kept for 12–48 hours in a refrigerated room at 5°C before being pressed separately, parcel by parcel, according to their quality potential. Using small carts on suspended rails, the grapes were transported by gravity into pneumatic presses. The first juice was kept separate and extracted at very low pressure to produce the free-run must that forms the heart of the Bravade cuvée. It was cold-settled and stabilised for four to five weeks at 5–6°C, with regular bâtonnage, before a slow alcoholic fermentation lasting three to four weeks at 14–20°C. Specific vineyard and grape-variety details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Its lively acidity, saline minerality and citrus character make it a natural partner for shellfish, oysters, grilled fish and bouillabaisse. It also pairs beautifully with cooked, pressed cheeses such as Comté and Beaufort. Decanting is not necessary, although opening the bottle shortly before serving will allow its aromas to unfold.
