The Vice Orange Gewurztraminer

Wed, Aug 09, 23

We are in love with this new orange wine crafted by The Vice in Napa Valley. If you haven't experienced an orange wine, this is a perfect intro! The extended skin contact time gives this typical white wine an alluring orange/pink hue and a depth of flavor not often found in white wine. As a bonus, all grapes are from certified organic vineyards.

 

In this vintage (2022), an incredibly aromatic wave of roses, white peach and orange blossom leads into a luscious palate of lychee, passion fruit and other tropical notes. Incredibly crisp with just a kiss of sweetness on the finish, this is a perfect pairing for spicy Thai, Indian or North African cuisine. Or if wine is your preferred dinner in the summer, you can crush a bottle or two on the patio as the sun goes down.
