Emiliana Animalia, Organic Orange Sauvignon Blanc

Aromas of ripe stone fruits, figs and dried apricot on the nose. Warm sandy textural nose characteristic of wine from hot dry country. The palate follows with more dried apricot.

Orange wines are something to be savoured, not knocked back. Think sherry texture, and high acidity. Great for spicy or powerful dishes, or hard aged cheeses.

This Orange wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the Casablanca Valley where the vineyards are strongly influenced by the Pacific Ocean and the Humboldt Current. With high humidity rates, its average temperatures reach 25°C in summer and 14°C in winter. The grapes were destemmed and crushed and left with their skins. They are fermented in concrete tanks at approximately 18º C, soft punch downs obtained a subtle extraction. Once the fermentation was finished, the wine is aged in concrete eggs for five months with the skins.
