Organic Orange Wine

VINE-GROWING The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards grown under organic growing criteria in a balanced, caring and sustainable way. The vineyard’s soils play a major role which favour rapid assimilation of reincorporated organic matter.
This enables full terroir expression.

WINE-MAKING The grapes are hand-harvested. After a gentle pressing, the juice is fermented with their skins. Fermentation at controlled temperature (16o-18oC), with daily pumping over for the juice to be in contact with skins and to get this characteristic fresh, citric aroma. After fermentation, vatting takes place for 2 months with one gentle pump up per day. This allows us to extract some tannins, something unique in this kind of elaborations. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation follow.

TASTING NOTE: Clean, bright, with amber yellow colour and salmon shades. Fresh acid fruit aromas and citric notes, pink grapefruit. On the palate the wine is light and smooth something that at the same time contrasts with the presence of the tannins and the powerful but balanced acidity. Rich, full-bodied, fresh and with a citric and vegetal character obtained from the contact with the skins. Long aftertaste.
