Ulterior Naranja

Tasting profile

Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry

An orange wine — white grapes fermented on their skins in the manner of a red, a technique older than modern white winemaking and revived across southern Europe over the past two decades. The skin contact gives amber colour, genuine tannin and a nutty, oxidative depth quite unlike a conventional white. Dried apricot and orange peel over walnut, tea leaf, honey and a savoury, faintly bitter grip. Full-bodied and textured; it should be served like a light red, around 14°C, and it wants food rather than sipping.
