2021 Obscura Orange

Stony minerality and yellow fruit aromas at the core. Fresh acidity and broad tannins give the wine texture.
Aromas: spicy, sea salt, apricots, sour yellow plums.

Obscura Orange is made from Grenache Blanc grapes from Darling. The grapes were destemmed and gently pressed into a Qvevri, with natural fermentation occurring spontaneously after three to five days. Fermentation lasted around 14 days, during which the cap was crushed four times a day with a special wooden tool. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was left on the skins for a further six weeks, during which time it continued to be gently racked daily. This aging on the skins contributes to the extraction of tannins and gives the wine its unique characteristics and amber hue. Without any additives or adjustments, the tannins contribute to the preservation of the wine and act as a natural alternative to SO2. After 8 weeks on the skins, the final wine is drawn off from the Qvevri and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Some natural sediment may occur. 500 BOTTLES ONLY.
