2023 Vin de Days l'Orange

The 2023 Vin de Days L'Orange is back by popular demand. This blend of Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Gewürztraminer and Pinot gris is a super fun expression of these aromatic varietals and their personalities when made with generous skin contact. Oranges dominate the nose this vintage; tangerine, naval, kumquat, pomelo. Expressive tropical notes of starfruit, guava, and mango shine through, supported by aromas of rose water, sweet mint and sweet basil, and raw matsutake mushroom. Dry, lively and fresh with playful tannins on the palate, the citrus notes are reflected along with a lot of fresh umami character. The fruit profile evolves in the glass, becoming more lush and juicy in expression as the wine opens with air, and the finish remains vibrant, crisp, and grippy. A wine that is delectable in its youth, we consider the l’Orange worthy of aging for three to five years.
