2021 'Vilia' Orange Couveè
2021 'Vilia' Orange Couveè
This is a menuet and rear couveè of three exceptional grape varieties (70% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Orange Muscat and 15% Albariño), for which I personally carefully selected only the best whole clusters. The grapes were then destemmed and left on ‘skin contact’ for 4 days. After, the couveè was gently pressed and naturally co-fermented in a neutral French oak barrel in the cool cellar (54 degrees) putting it in the category of ‘orange wine’. This is a 100% natural wine with no addition of SO2 at any stage, no racking, no filtering, and no fining. All varieties come from sustainably kept vineyards, which I tend to within Nevada County in the Sierra Foothills. This is a very refreshing and enjoyable wine ready for any occasion. Drink it on its own, with shellfish, cheese platter, creamy sauce dishes etc. There are only 22 cases available.
