Mambo Mai Mai is named for Ori’s  sister, who had also escaped to France alongside her and was a big help during harvest!

In March 2020, when lockdown first hit London, Oriane Rosner didn't know that she'd be relocating to Gaillac shortly after, and two years later, bottling her first vintage as Ori Vi!

Prior to 2020, Oriane had already developed a love for natural wine whilst living in London and on visits to see her family in New York, but considerations of it being an alternative career path had sat firmly in the 'pipe dream' category.

With their parents staying at a family home near Toulouse when the pandemic hit and deciding to stay the course, Oriane and her sister upped-sticks and swapped locked-down London for the bucolic surrounds of France's south-west.

Oriane counts herself extremely lucky to have chanced upon Laure & Pierre Fabre of the nearby biodynamic Domaine Gayrard, volunteering her services in the vineyards and cellar, learning everything she could.

In 2021, she jumped at the opportunity to make some wine of her own, given a little space in their cellar, Oriane took over a few rows of vines at Gayrard.

They really took me in like family, and have been incredibly generous and helpful, I simply wouldn't have been able to do what I'm doing had they not taken me under their wing, I feel very blessed. ‘It literally takes a village’. 100% Muscadelle de-stemmed and macerated for a month, then aged in an amphora for eight months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
