Octagono, Vino Naranja - 2019

750 mL
Item # 46047

The "Vatican" of Mexico might be expected to produce traditional styles of wine, however this bottling here proves the exception. A blend of Muscat and Macabeo, the grapes are crushed under foot and fermented and aged on the skins for 8 months. The wine is racked and spends a further 6 months on the lees in amphora. It is bottled entirely unsulphured, and has a wild character that just might lead you down the road to temptation. Pair with enchiladas mineras.

Production Methods

Natural

Wine made from organically or biodynamically grown grapes with minimal intervention avoiding the use of chemicals, additives and technology.

Orange Wine (Skin Contact)

Orange wine is made by using white wine grapes, which are pressed and left in contact with the skins, seeds, and stems for an extended period of time, similar to how red wine is made.

This prolonged maceration extracts color, tannins, and phenols, giving the wine a darker, sometimes orange color. It also produces a wine with more structure and intense flavor.

Maceration times can vary between a few hours to many months, with longer contact giving more color and extraction.
