Vignobles Vellas, naturellement pur, orange wine for the curious, vin de France 2020
Hay, apricot, a chalky thing, white flowers too. That's a very inviting nose. The palate is quite interesting yet not as complex and tannic like the other orange wines I had recently. A very strong acid drive and notes of apricot, a tiny bit of a grip in mid palate and a long fresh finish that goes on for a very long time. Except for its colour that goes into the yellow to brick tones, I could not really detect skin contact in this one. The wine is good though but the orange wine mention seems to be more of a marketing trick here than an actual thing. I liked it nonetheless as a very simple, fresh and interesting white wine.Ā
