Marenas Viñedo y Bodega
Cerro Encinas Blanco Montepila
Montilla-Moriles, Andalucía, Spain
A pretty orange wine that is very floral in character and textural on the palate. Lots of honeysuckle, geranium, rose, dried apricot on the nose with similar flavors accented by orange blossom and bitter almond. At 11% an easy sipper. Not for everyone but rewarding for those who like textural fruit character

Jul 14th, 2015There is next to nothing online about Montepila, an obscure grape from Andalucia. This winemaker uses it for orange wine, really a pale peach hue with undertones of honeysuckle, apricot, and almonds. Delicious.

A fun orange wine, softer acidity but fun fruit with Szechuan dishes at Fung Tu.

Floral extended skin contact white with kites of ripened apricot. Who knew that an orange wine pairs songbird with egg noodles and black bean and clam.

A lightly "orange" wine made from the near-unknown Montepila grape. Savory with subdued yellow plum, Marcona almonds, beeswax & sand. A whiff of becoming VA, too.
