2022 Orange Wine
In Stock
Skin fermented Estate L'Acadie Blanc
Our Estate vineyard has been certified organic since it was planted in 2005 and Orange Wine fully represents the flavours of the vineyard that we have been diligently fostering. Organic practices encourage healthy microbiology of our unique rocky soil and vines and grape clusters, all contributing to our unique flavours of soil, varietal and wild fermentation. The result is a truly terroir-based wine with enhanced minerality from our schist and sandstone soil and complex flavours from a partial wild ferment of our natural vineyard microbes. Picked on October 14 and fermented 8 days on the skins. Shows intense honey, lime and floral aromas with orange and subtle apple flavours and slight tannin.
