Details
This is an orange wine with serious flair. On the nose, it’s floral and super expressive, with bright green apple and a punch of white pepper that grabs your attention right away. The palate is textured with juicy acidity, a touch of salinity, and layers of grape pith and bruised apple skin giving it depth and grip. There’s a subtle savoury twist on the finish as well. It's mouthwatering, complex, and full of personality.

Pairing guide
This orange wine is bold and layered, making it a fantastic match for dishes with a bit of texture, spice, and earthy depth. Try it with Moroccan spiced roasted carrots and labneh, grilled octopus with lemon and herbs, or a mushroom and taleggio tart. It’s also a dream with anything featuring fermented flavours - think kimchi dumplings, miso-glazed aubergine, or even a funky aged cheese board. For a delicious vegan option, pair it with roasted cauliflower steaks, tahini drizzle, and pickled shallots. This is a wine that loves bold flavours and a bit of a twist - so don’t be afraid to get creative!

Wine region
Weinviertel, Austria
Weinviertel is the largest wine region in Austria, located in the northeastern part of the country. Vineyards here are characterised by deep loess soils, which is well documented to contribute to the wines' distinct peppery and spicy flavours. The top wine style produced in Weinviertel is decidedly Grüner Veltliner, a dry white wine that is known for its crisp acidity and aromas of citrus, green apple, and white pepper. Other notable varietals include Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch, which produce medium-bodied red wines with fruit-forward flavors. The top sub-regions within Weinviertel include Falkenstein and Poysdorf, which are renowned for producing long-lived Grüner Veltliner wines. Overall, Weinviertel is a must-visit on Austria’s wine region bucket list.
