Solas Albarino has aromas of tropical fruit and citrus with delicate floral and mineral overtones. The palate is refreshing with generous exotic fruit character and a hint of lime to the finish. A soft yet crisp and aromatic white, it illustrates Laurent’s signature style of clean, pure fruit.
‘Solas’ is the Irish for ‘light’, and in French means ‘joy’, ‘pleasure’ and ‘enjoyment’. Laurent Miquel’s Solas wines reflect the purity, balance and light-handed approach that characterises Laurent’s approach to winemaking. To make the Solas Albarino, they used night-time harvesting, press with juice selection, must clarification at low temperatures, fermentation at 16-17 °C and maturation on lees in stainless steel tanks.
Laurent Miquel is a forward-thinking 200-hectare family-run estate, based in Cessenon sur Orb in the Languedoc region. Laurent Miquel owns over 200 hectares of vines in the Languedoc: 150 hectares at Château Cazal Viel, and an additional 50 hectares at Château Auzines, in Corbières, where Laurent and Neasa put down their own roots in 2009. The total Château Auzines estate is 270 ha – the rest of the land is left wild to the garrigue and wild boar, in line with the sustainability philosophy at the heart of this family business. They also created what they call a “lucky lake” at the domaine, to harvest rainwater which is used to ensure balanced elegant fruit. At Laurent Miquel, the focus is completely on quality, which Laurent believes starts and ends in the vineyard. Their estates are certified sustainable with the comprehensive HVE Level 3 certification.
