This is how you do orange wine. Not oxidative or bitter, it’s vibrant and refreshing, with the maceration contributing structure and dimension instead of weighing it down and obscuring the terroir/varietal characteristics. Lots of dried citrus peel, nectarine, herbs and spice with a touch of yeast. One of the only examples of the genre that kept me reaching for another glass.

In the glass it looks like a flat wheat beer—light orange and cloudy. Citrus boozy nose. The first sip and you know it’s special. Unique experience, but quite different from orange Radikon. This is more wine, less cocktail. Lots of tension, medium body and tons of acidity. Easy to pair but interesting enough to be had on its own.
