Orange | Ribolla Gialla
Located in Snežatno in the Goriška Brda zone of Slovenia, near the border of Italy, Štekar winery is known for producing wines in the traditional manner, with extended skin contact and little or no sulphur added. Rebula, also known as Ribolla Gialla, is a grape native to Friuli in Italy and this little corner of western Slovenia.
Orange wine made from Ribolla Gialla grapes pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes due to its unique flavour profile and aromatic qualities. Consider serving it alongside roasted vegetable dishes, as the wine’s acidity complements the sweetness of the vegetables.
2 bottles x Peninsula Viticultores Skin Contact 2022 (Castilla La Mancha, Spain)
Orange | Albariño
Peninsula Skin Contact is a low-SO2 orange wine that explores the complexity and nuances of long macerations of white grapes on their skins. Spain and Castile, in particular, have a long tradition of skin-contact whites, which deserves to be explored and updated. The wine is made from a single, experimental parcel of Albariño, grown organically on their estate in Cuenca.
2 bottles x Cantina Cenci Anticello Grechetto 2022 (Umbria, Italy)
