Introduction:
A vibrant and expressive orange wine from the Loire Valley, showcasing the potential of skin-contact whites in this classic French region. Focused and textural, it combines fresh fruit with savory complexity in a distinctive style.

Terrior:
Produced from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards in the Touraine area of the Loire Valley. The vines are rooted in clay-limestone soils with flint, and benefit from a temperate climate that preserves acidity while encouraging aromatic depth through extended hang time.

Appearance:
Deep amber-orange with copper highlights, luminous and unfiltered in the glass.

Nose:
Expressive aromas of orange peel, apricot, and tangerine zest are joined by notes of rooibos tea, wild herbs, and a dusty mineral edge. There’s a slight oxidative nuance that adds to its complexity.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a broad, textural mouthfeel. The palate reveals flavors of dried citrus, stone fruit, and white pepper. Tannins from the skin contact lend grip and structure, while the acidity keeps the wine taut and lively.

Finish:
Dry and persistent, with notes of citrus oil, chamomile, and a clean, earthy finish that lingers with a subtle phenolic touch.

Overall Impression:
A thoughtful and well-balanced orange wine that straddles the line between aromatic brightness and earthy savoriness. It’s a versatile and food-friendly expression ideal for pairing with charcuterie, spiced vegetarian fare, or hard cheeses.
