2022 Tangerine
2022 Tangerine
First released in 2020, Tangerine is our flagship orange wine. From the now destroyed Petane vineyard this wine is a co-ferment of Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer with a splash of Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. The addition of Gewurtz to the blend has give the wine a little more focus and a core of lychee, rose and musk to balance the weighty, fruit-driven Pinot Gris. It's got a lovely saltiness and clean acidity making the wine extremely food friendly. Finally, true to it's name and the varieties used it has a deep tangerine colour. It is, quite simply, orange wine. 750 bottles made.
Reviews:
"An orange hued appearance with aromas of ginger spice and dried citrus peel scents, it is an exotic and new bouquet, individual and with personality. A smooth touch on the palate with moderate acidity and flavours that reflect the bouquet, there’s a VA layer that some may find distracting, as a Sommelier the challenge is to find the perfect food match that challenges some of the elements on the to then showcase the attributes that make this wine shine." - Cameron Douglas MS
