Tangy with bitter oranges, fresh and complex.
More Info
Tasting Notes: Clear, pale orange colour. Intense aromas of bitter oranges, dried flowers and slight nutty hints. Fresh, vivid and well-balanced, with a nice acidity; the aromas carry through to the palate. The finish is long, intense, and complex.
When life gives you Oranges… make Orange Wine! "Ceci n’est pas une Orange" as Magritte would say, and he would be right as it is not made with oranges, but it's also not your traditionnal red, white or rosé wine. It's a new thing, it does not fit into the boxes and we love it!
Machine picking at night to reduce the risk of oxidation. The grapes were directly put into a concrete tank as for the vinification of a red wine. Pre-fermentation maceration at a cool temperature for one week. Temperature maintained at 4°C with daily pumping over. The alcoholic fermentation was then launched at a temperature of 18°C. 5 days maceration with daily pumping-over. The grapes were then pressed and the press juice was blended with the free-run juice to end the fermentation. Ageing on fine lees until bottling.
