Laranxa is the word for ORANGE in Galician dialect. Orange wine is not yet eligible for DOC status in Galicia, but this exceptional wine certainly makes a case for it.
Organically grown grapes from the Valle del Salnés zone of Rías Baixas (Galicia).
3 week skin maceration and fermentation on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Aged 5 months on the fine lees and bottled with no fining or filtration. NO ADDED SULFITES!
Golden orange color with a nose of ripe fruit, toasty notes of pastry and yeast lead into a wine with fresh forest aromatics, candied citrus. Gentle tannins and fine natural acidity combine to create a complex mouthfeel supporting the fine aromatics.
