Old vines with an average age of 35-40 years on sandy and clay gravel soils. This excellant Sauternes was crafted for Oriel Wines by Xavier Planty the legandry winemaker at Chāteau Guiraud, one of the leading estates in Sauternes.

Unlike traditional wineries, Oriel doesn't own any vineyards. Instead, they find top winemakers in some of the best wine regions of the world and have them make wines from the best grapes they can find. Giving the wines their stamp of approval, Oriel then bottles the wines under their own label.

The undisputed king of France's wine regions, Bordeaux sits amidst and astride the rivers Dordogne and Garonne. Accounting for some 800 million bottles produced each year, Bordeaux has built its reputation on quality, with some of the world's most sought-after wines being crafted along the river banks. Bordeaux also creates a large amount of table wine, mostly sourced from the lesser of Bordeaux's 57 appellations. Bordeaux boasts over 10,000 winemakers. Known mostly for the red blends, Bordeaux also enjoys notoriety for its excellent sweet white wines, as well as several high-quality dry whites created mostly in the central regions between the two rivers.

Body/Type

Light Bodied (131)
Light Bodied
Light and crisp, often with higher acidity, these wines, whether red, white or rosé, pair well with vegetables, seafood and lighter meats.

Acidity – malic, lactic and other naturally occurring acids in grapes which serve to balance the sweet and fruit flavors in a wine, also lending to the age-ability of a wine.
Medium Bodied (256)
Medium Bodied
Often considered to be the most flexible and food-friendly wines, these wines, due to their fuller flavors, lower acidity and softer textures, also drink well by the glass.

Full Bodied (257)
Full Bodied
These wines, made from thicker-skinned, riper grapes, are often aged in oak, adding depth and complexity. These wines standup well to rich, intensely flavored foods.
Sparkling (54)

Bone dry to juicy sweet, these Champagnes, Proseccos and other bubblies are not just for celebratory toasts, but are great as starters or accompaniments to a meal.
Sweet (10)

Decadently sweet, these late harvest, and other naturally sweet wines, can be paired with desserts…or can BE the dessert.
Fortified (20)

Style

Modern (240)
Modern
Wines that accentuate the characteristics of the grapes; clean and pure. Great by the glass…and with food.
Traditional (438)
Traditional
Wines that accentuate the characteristics of the soil and terroir; complex, minerally in the whites and earthy in the reds, these wines are often considered the best “food wines”

Terroir – the combined effects of environment and winemaking technique that, when practiced consistently over the years, create a signature style of a particular region or wine type.
Off-Dry (21)
Off-Dry
With a bit of grape sugar left after fermentation, these food-friendly wines, sparkling or still, contain a touch of sweetness.
