OR-ANGE is this winery’s take on crafting a skin-contact orange wine from estate-grown grapes. This expressive cuvée, known as Château de Jau OR-ANGE, represents a superb example of a more approachable, less extreme style of orange wine. The skins of the white grapes are left with the juice for 10 days to extract aromas and character. The result is a wine scented with tangerine, apricot, and orange marmalade, layered with exotic fruits, floral notes, ginger root, herbal tea, and a touch of dried ginger spice. A superbly versatile food wine, it offers a left-field choice beyond the conventional while remaining delicious and a fine showcase of Château de Jau’s boundary-pushing winemaking.
