Winemaking We’ve come to love the co-ferment of Roussanne and Riesling, which sees the most time on skins - nearly 30 days. This duo anchors the texture of this bottling, giving it depth to layer in the additional white grapes, whose skin times range from 1 to 21 days. Each ferment is aged separately in old barrels and stainless steel for about 8 months. Unfined, unfiltered, and with a very small amount of sulfur added prior to release.
Aging 8 months neutral oak & stainless steel barrels

The Character

Aromas Lovely citrus and floral
Tasting Notes Our goal is to make an orange wine you can have a first crush on - an interesting yet accessible wine that has all the lovely citrus and floral aromatics we adore in skin contact whites without the more astringent tannins that are sometimes present. The 2022 L’Orange features great balance, finesse, a nice full texture and has just enough earthiness to balance the fruity characters. This wine should be enjoyed immediately!

The Story

We’ve learned from ten years of skin contact fermentations on white grapes that coaxing the most desirable characteristics requires knowing how long to keep each one on the skins. For us, the contrast of savory and aromatic varieties makes for intriguing yet approachable skin-contact white wines.
