Orange wine is one of those things that has caught the imagination of wine drinkers recently. They’re different, unique (in some cases) and often pair wonders with food.

What I enjoy most however about this fantastic expression of Xarel-lo/ Parellada, made from old vines, with 14 days of skin contact. The wine spent approx 8 months ageing in clay amphora.

The result is a wine that is utterly delightfull. A perfect style of orange wine to get those drinkers who wish to experience this style of wine, without being put of forever with volatile acidity & funky aromas (which this isn’t!).

It’s super fresh, fragrant, full of aromas of tangerines, nectarines and this fresh floral aroma too. I love that the palate is lively, I love that the wine isn’t “funky”, yet has a saline quality on the palate that could pair it beautifully with food, or even could be drunk on its own.

Get one whilst you can!
