Orange Is the New White '21

100% macabeo grapes from our partner farmer Roger Grifoll Declara in Priorat, Spain.

Priorat is a mecca in the wineworld. Thanks to its volcanic history, Priorat is formed on rough and rocky ground, which offers many nutritions for growing grape vines, but is - well - a pain in the butt when it comes to harvesting grapes. That’s why Prioratians grow terrace shaped vineyards, you know, like tea in Indonesia. Our favourite Prioratian Roger Grifoll Declara had experience in wineries all over the world and as if that didn’t make him the perfect partner already: he’s a dog person as well.

Our Sons wines allow us to experiment and innovate to create new flavours for wine lovers to explore. This wine is special because we created an accessible orange wine for wine drinkers to take a step out of their comfort zone. What exactly is orange wine? Well, the short answer is that it’s made like a red wine, but using white grapes. When you make red wine, you leave the juice from the red grapes to ferment together with its skin and pips. This will give colour and add tannic qualities to the wine. In contrast, there is usually no skin contact while making white wine. That’s where orange wine comes in. Made from white grapes, but fermented together with the skin and pips. Skin contact is what gives orange wine its darker colour; the longer the contact, the deeper the orange hue.

Our go-to-bottle for picnics in the park and days out boating on the canals. A multi-player wine, the perfect companion for all sorts of dishes. From spicy food to seafood to vegetarian dishes.
