Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
An orange wine — white grapes fermented on their skins the way reds are, which is an ancient method rather than a new one. Grenache Gris is a pink-skinned variety, so the skin contact gives real colour: amber to light copper. Expect dried apricot and orange peel with tea leaf, a nutty oxidative edge and a genuine tannic grip, which is the thing that surprises people most about the style. Medium-bodied and dry. Serve cooler than a red but warmer than a white, and give it food.
