Winemaking Notes: The Vegas Altas Orange wine is produced from equal parts Pardina and Cayetana, both native varieties of Extremadura. Skin contact of the fruit lasts around one month in amphora. The wine is pressed and aged for 3 months in concrete tanks. The wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with just a tiny bit of SO2.
Tasting Notes: Clean, delicate and dry, the aromatics are pretty, floral and citrus-driven. On the palate, notes of peach, orange pith and dry warm earth. This captivating orange wine invites continuous sipping, evolving in flavor as it opens up.
