Casa De Uco El Salvaje Orange Style 2023 - 750ml

An orange wine from Casa de Uco, in Mendoza's Uco Valley: a style in which white grapes ferment on their skins, giving an orange hue, texture and a light bitterness. It blends Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Torrontés. Pale orange-yellow. The nose is complex: citrus and peel from the Sauvignon Blanc, ripe pear from the Chardonnay and flowers from the Torrontés. The palate has notable acidity, fresh and fruity, with the slightly bitter finish typical of the style. 12.8% ABV. Pairs with Japanese and Mediterranean cuisine and aged cheeses such as gorgonzola and Parmesan. Serve at 13–16 °C.
