Product Description:
The 2022 Vincent Roussely Orange is a distinctive natural wine from France's Loire Valley, specifically the Touraine region. Crafted by fourth-generation winemaker Vincent Roussely, this wine is produced from organically and biodynamically farmed Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Embracing ancient winemaking traditions, the grapes undergo an extended maceration on their skins for over three weeks, imparting the wine's characteristic orange hue and complex flavor profile. Vincent's commitment to minimal intervention and sustainable practices results in a wine that truly reflects its terroir and the expressive nature of the Sauvignon Blanc varietal. 

Nose: Aromas of orange peel, apricot, and citrus pith dominate, with subtle undertones of dried fruits and floral notes, offering a captivating and aromatic bouquet.

Palate: The palate unfolds with layers of candied orange peel, yellow-fleshed stone fruits, and a distinct clay minerality. The wine's vibrant acidity and well-integrated tannins provide a balanced and refreshing mouthfeel.

Finish: A lingering and textured finish, leaving a delightful memory of the wine's nuanced character and natural complexity.

This versatile orange wine pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes. Its bright acidity and complex flavor profile make it an ideal companion for fish dishes, Thai cuisine, and cheeses such as Gouda and Cheddar. Additionally, it complements charcuterie, aged cheeses, and dishes featuring bold and spicy flavors. The wine's unique character adds a delightful dimension to roasted poultry or grilled vegetables, enhancing the overall dining experience.
