WOW - we love this Portuguese wine! It's very complex yet also nicely drinkable, made using the grape Fernão Pires.

Expect a touch of pleasant medicinal notes with white blossom touches and eucalyptus ...plus memories of Angostura Bitters (a first for us!) This really, really impressed! We think it's one of the best Portuguese wines we personally ever had!

Official Notes

Fermentation: Our orange wine slowly festered with ease on its skins and seeds. The eventual breakdown of the skin gave colour. Fermentation also helped release valuable polyphenols that helped with creating the flavour profile.

Aging phase: After the skins and seeds did their job, we then left the wine aging in talha lined with beeswax. Over time the wine slowly absorbed the flavors of not only the talha itself, but from the beeswax creating a wine containing many layers of complexity.

Tasting notes: This wine has the striking, tell tale aroma of Fernao Pires that consists of tangerine skin, summer melon, and faint honey. The wine reveals its minerality and presence of talha throughout the tasting process with a nice faint thread of acidity on the finish.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

WHAT IS ORANGE WINE?

Orange wines are actually white wines, but with a different winemaking process - they’re made by fermenting the juice with the grape skins, which is mostly done with red wines, not white. This extra step adds tannins, flavor, and a unique color to the wine.
Because of the skin contact, orange wines tend to have more herbal, aromatic notes, and they can also have a bit of bitterness depending on the grape, how long the skins are left in contact with the juice, and the vessel used for maturation. Unlike most white wines, they can also feature tannins (which are formed from the skins, which white wines do not use). Orange wines are a style that brings out some really interesting flavors that many people adore for their unique properties, whether easy going or complex.
