Site and Vinification
This wine is a special cuvée of Auxerrois and Chardonnay with a share of Scheurebe. After harvesting the fully ripe grapes in autumn, a spontaneous maceration took place for part of the grapes. The remaining grapes were fermented as whole clusters over a period of about two months (maceration carbonique) – a traditional process that was already used in ancient times. Both processes release additional aromas and colouring substances from the skins, which give the wine its special colour and character. The wine was aged and matured for six months, partly in wooden barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks.
Characteristics
In the glass, the wine shimmers amber yellow with orange reflections. The aroma spectrum is broad and includes ripe apple, candied fruit, intense orange zest, citrus notes as well as spicy, peppery notes. The finely integrated tannins harmonise perfectly with the fruity aromas and give the wine substance, complexity and a long-lasting finish. The Orange Wine is a wine with storage potential and goes perfectly with fish dishes and seafood, whereby we particularly recommend a bouillabaisse.
Food Pairing
The Orange Wine goes perfectly with fish dishes and seafood, a bouillabaisse is our special recommendation.
