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.

Composed mostly of the Debina white grape with just a splash of the red Vlahiko grape thrown in. A touch sweet but not overly so. Dry and fully weird. Medium intensity but pleasantly funky as all get out. The palate is a replay of the nose with plenty of apples, cloves, and cinnamon. This is a hard wine to place if truth be told but one definitely worth trying.

Fruity with orange, has a bitter taste almost like the orange pith, which adds an interesting level of flavor. Goes great with any food which makes is a mvp!
