Paleokerisio Traditional Semi-sparkling Ioannina Orange
Epiros, Greece
2016 vintage. Good balance of Brett and non-Brett derived flavors (coming from someone that usually HATES Brett). Hibiscus, green tea, pumpkin seed, tangerine, dried apple, all with underlying foot taste. Actually shows much more complexity and subtlety than most "natural wines" that I've had...but still gets points off for obvious Brett flaw.

Awesome! A bit if sweetness, a bit of funk, a bit if fizz. What is it? Some sort of cider? Nope, Greek sparkling orange wine!

A sparkling Greek wine? Check.Orange? Check. Dry, amber gold color & dusty tannins. A lot of layered, compelling flavor along with a fine, persistent mousse. Ginger, grapefruit pith, turmeric. Oh, 15$ for a 500 ml bottle. Another great rec by a well curated store in Rancho Mirage, Ca

If Radikon is right, great orange wines come in 500 ml bottles. This gold-colored skin contact wine smells like sweet apples and tastes like it. Wild yeast. Some light, fading, carbonation. Tart and mild tannins. Reminds me a little of an unblended Belgian lambic. Utterly drinkable.

Yum! Lip smacking maraschino cherries, roses, grapefruit. Sunset pink and semi sparkling.
