2023 Botanica Consecrata Pinot Gris – Orange Wine

2023 Botanica Consecrata Pinot Gris – Orange Wine

Nelson Vineyard, Mendocino County

TASTING NOTES

Our 2023 Botanica Consecrata Orange Wine is made from Pinot Gris fruit from the Nelson Ranch in Mendocino County. Despite its name, orange wine is not made from oranges. Rather, the stunning color is created by allowing white grapes to macerate longer than usual and by resisting the use of preservatives. This allows natural yeasts & flora to exist in the wine. Careful avoidance of spoilage organisms is imperative. This wonderfully interesting wine is full of aromatics including rhubarb, grilled pineapple, pink peppercorn and herbal notes. On the palate is shows flavors of pomegranate, rose hips, lemongrass and hints of freshly cut herbs.

SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING

This wine will pair nicely with dishes featuring fresh pesto, fresh pasta with butter or cream sauces, Oysters Rockefeller or vegetarian dishes like palak paneer. Try it with a variety of cheeses and charcuterie to expose the layered flavors in the wine.
