Producer Information
Domaine Orenga de Gaffory is located in picturesque Patrimonio, in the Haute-Corse département of Corsica. A French Mediterranean island of about 350,000 inhabitants, Corsica is geographically closer to Italy, and thus shares a variety of cultural elements with the latter; many Corsicans speak French, Italian and the native Corsican language. Corsica has its own strong cultural identity and this is reflected in its local art and culinary traditions. The island has nine Appelations d’Origine Protégée (AOP) and a great deal of local dishes and cheeses to pair them with.Our own Master of Wine, Jane Masters MW, worked at the estate back in the day. Piotr Nowicki, head of vineyard management, reveals: “during her time at Domaine Orenga de Gaffory, Jane proved to be a fantastic colleague and a demanding boss! Fully dedicated to her work as a winemaker, she valued professionalism in her responsibilities as well asin the duties of other employees. Her fame led to her being featured in an esteemed French wine magazine.” Jane and Orenga de Gaffory have both come a long way since, and we are very proud to have them in the Opimian family.
