FRIDAY’s TASTING: Let’s talk about orange wine (aka skin-contact wine or amber wine)! No, it doesn’t have to do with *those* oranges 👉🍊.

This winemaking method involves fermenting white wine grapes *with* their skins, giving the wine its unique amber hue. Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer…any white grape varietal can transform into an orange wine with a little skin contact.

In addition to color, the skin of a grape brings tannin, flavor, and structure to the wine. The longer the skins stay in contact, the deeper the color and the more complex the wine.

It’s an extremely broad category…think of how many different white grapes there are! Swing by Friday 4-7pm to try a few of our favs! 🧡

Spätburgunder, or “late Burgundy,” is Germany’s Pinot Noir. 🇩🇪 Due to climate change and warmer temps, these wines have transformed from thin and flat to vibrant and rich (much like Oregon’s Willamette Valley Pinots).

🍷 Braunewell Estate Pinot Noir (2020) from Rheinhessen
🍷 Borell-Diehl Pinot Noir “BD” (2021) from Pfalz
🍷 Ziereisen Blauer Spätburgunder (2022) from Baden

Three different vintages, three different regions, and three distinct soil types. Lots to compare and contrast!

Featured wine pick! 🇩🇪 The one and only...Keller Kirchspiel GG 2022. "Klaus Peter and Julia Keller’s GG (Grand Cru) dry rieslings are without a doubt the most sought-after wines in all of Germany.

The quality of the Kirchspiel GG from Keller has been compared to Le Montrachet in Burgundy with its unbeatable power and precision, balanced by the most incredible acidity. This is easily one of the most spectacular wines we have brought into the store, and we only have ONE!"
