Orange

IG Açores

Our first Orange is a single-variety, skin contact wine made from native white Verdelho grapes. Macerated on the skins in terracotta amphorae, fermented with native yeasts, and bottled in spring to preserve freshness, it is a structured wine defined by volcanic salinity and profound mineral depth.

Vinification

Cold-macerated on skins in 250L clay amphorae (ânforas) and naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts. After 3 weeks of skin contact, the wine is gently pressed and aged on its fine lees in clay to refine its texture, depth, and aromatic complexity.

Tasting note

Golden amber in the glass, with aromas of dried apricot, orange peel and chamomile over a subtle spicy note. The palate is structured and textured, with the gentle grip of skin contact, lively freshness and a pronounced volcanic salinity leading to a long, mineral finish.

Serving suggestion

Pairs well with grilled fish, cured meats, aged cheeses and gently spiced dishes, from Mediterranean to Asian cuisine.
