Vino Naranja Orange Wine Vinos Singulares 2022

Wine description for Vino Naranja Orange Wine Vinos Singulares 2022 from Jimenez - Landi

Colour & appearance

Luminous amber to copper-orange in the glass, with a slightly cloudy texture - a characteristic feature of mash-fermented white wines. The colour is reminiscent of Apricot skin and shows the intensive shell maceration.

Nose

Fascinatingly complex: Dried apricots, Orange zest and Quince meet spicy notes of white pepper and Camomile. Behind this there are oxidative hints of Nuts, Hay and a hint of Beeswax. The flavour is open, but never intrusive.

Palate

Surprising Structured and flu-like through the tannins from the berry skins. The wine is medium-bodied with lively acidity that perfectly integrates the 14% alcohol. The flavour is dominated by Stone fruit, Citrus fruits and a savoury Minerality, reminiscent of the granite terroir of the Sierra de Gredos. On the palate, the wine is dry and refreshing despite its power.

Departure

Medium to long, with persistent Herbal notesa touch of Bitter almond and finer Tannin structure. The freshness remains present until the end.

Terroir & origin

From the heights of Méntrida, west of Madrid, where Jiménez-Landi cultivates some ancient vineyards. The region, long underestimated, has established itself as the origin of exceptional wines - not only for Garnacha red wines, but also for experimental orange wines.

Grape variety & vinification

Cuvée from white Garnacha and other indigenous white grape varieties. The grapes were fermented with the skins - the classic method for Orange Wine - which gives the wine its colour, structure and complexity. Minimal intervention in the cellar, natural yeasts.

Food pairing suggestions

Perfect for Moroccan tajines, fried chicken with lemon, Hard cheese like Manchego, Sushi or fermented vegetables. The tannin structure also makes it grilled fish or Pork interesting.

Special features

A bold, independent wine from one of Spain's most exciting regions. With this Orange Wine, Jiménez-Landi shows that Méntrida is capable of much more than just powerful red wines.
