Koalitre – Domaine du Petit Oratoire (Lori Haon)
Region: Southern Rhône, Gard, France (Valliguières)
Grape Blend: ~50% Grenache & 50% Cinsault from young vines on sandstone soils
Vintage: 2021 (also available in 2022)
Bottle Size: 1 Litre – crown‑cap style
Alc: ~10.5–11%
Style: Light, juicy natural red with zero added sulphites
🌿 Viticulture & Vinification
Fully hand-harvested, direct whole-cluster vatting by gravity in concrete
Gentle crushing & maceration for 3 weeks
Pressed in wooden basket press; fermented with indigenous yeasts
Aged briefly in cement then bottled unfiltered, unfined, with no sulphur
🍒 Tasting Notes
Pure redcurrant and raspberry drive aromas and palate—bright, juicy, and explosively fruity. Low tannin and crisp acidity deliver a super drinkable, thirst-quenching experience. Its playful 1 L bottle acknowledges that 75 cl isn't enough when it's this good!
🍽️ Food Pairing
Brilliant as an aperitif or picnic red. Pairs with grilled veggies, charcuterie, white meats, soft cheeses—or even breakfast (yes, it's that easy-drinking)
🌟 Why We Love It
Lori Haon brings youthful energy to biodynamic viticulture in the Gard. Koalitre embodies his philosophy: fun, fearless, natural wine that doesn't sacrifice quality. The low alcohol and large-format bottle make it perfect for sharing under the sun.
