The Wine’s Story
Orange Affair is a Mtsvane (30%) and Rkatsiteli (70%) blend. The grapes were hand-picked from high-elevation vineyards in Manavi (Kakheti region). This wine is a creation of a new generation of wine artisans.
The grapes were gently crushed with stems removed. To fully extract their rich flavors, the juice was macerated with the skins during a nine-day fermentation on wild yeasts.
Characterized by sweet aromas of yellow cherry and dried flowers, it blooms into notes of ripe melon and hints of caramelized fruit. The flavor is rich and voluminous, with slight acidity and the pleasant bitterness of tannins.
*Naturally made wine with minimal sulfites
