Orange Collection - Quarterly Membership

A lovely orange from two of our most trusted growers, the Notre Orange leans on the dried fruit and earthen aspects that characterize some of the world's great orange wines. Opening with notes of dried yellow flowers, a touch of apricot, and some orange skin, the palate is mineral, and medium-weighted, with present, food-friendly tannin.

A superb pairing option thanks to its tannin and moderate fruit intensity, pair the Notre Orange with intensely seasoned dishes like blackened catfish with remoulade, Tandoori chicken, or marinated leeks with mayo.

An orange wine from one of South Africa's original orange wine vanguard, the Mielie shows a tried hand at work. Opening with notes of fresh apricot, floral tea, and a whiff of wet stone, the palate is lovely, and full-fruited, with the same fruit and florals, and a tart, lightly tannic finish.

A showcase of the more delicate side of orange wine, the Mielie Orange is an excellent, rare, aperitif orange, but will do well beside lightly-seasoned proteins like a schnitzel or katsu fillet, roasted chicken with salt, pepper, and just a bit of cumin and red pepper, or a pan-roasted salmon filet in a creamy herb sauce.

There's something about this variety of Italian orange wine that's incredibly compelling. Aged in clay amphora and left in contact with the white grape skins for an extended period, the wine is bursting with intense aromatics of orange peel, citrus blossoms, and fresh herbs wafting in the glass. This orange, based on the Falanghina grape brings some mineral edge to proceedings, along with a deep core of orchard fruit, and a long, tame but tannic finish.

Enjoy the l'Attimo with intense, rich foods like a shrimp fra diavola, a vibrant Thai curry, or a coriander and cumin crusted side of fish with a fresh tomato sauce.
