When Life Gives You Oranges - Orange Wine

Orange Natural wine is certainly very much in vogue and if you are looking for a tasty introduction look no further. This orange wine is produced by Xavier Roger, ine of our favourite producers. He's also responsible for Big Beltie and Le Professeur.

WHAT DOES WHEN LIFE GIVES YOUR ORANGES TASTE LIKE?

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.

A delicious alternative for discerning wine lovers who wish to find something different from mainstream commercial wines.

WHAT IS ORANGE WINE?

Orange wine is a white wine, made like a red, which lends both colour and texture. Basically, the juice of the grapes are soaked with the skins of white grapes. The pigment within the skins bleeds off into the juice and it turns it orange in colour.

IS IT MADE FROM ORANGES?

NO! The orange fruit hasn't been anywhere near the wine, it's orange in colour, that's all.

TASTING NOTES:

Orange wine is really interesting. The skin contact gives it hints of grippy tannin and extra body that you'd find in a red wine, but it retains all the refreshing acidity of a white wine.

Orange Natural Wine is pretty complex. It offers lovely floral notes, delicate hints of quince, pear and a touch of vanilla. These aromas follow onto the palate and are backed up with a powerful tannin structure and long finish. A delicious alternative for discerning wine lovers who wish to find something different from mainstream commercial wines.
