"An orange wine straight from the Wine Globes, made using a winemaking technique that preserves all the wine's vibrancy!"

The technique for making orange wine dates back more than 6,000 years! Winemaker Xavier Vignon uses glass containers holding over 200 liters—known as Wine Globes—for his orange wine, which help preserve the wine’s vibrancy and reveal its full potential. The result is a wine with incredible aromas of quince, fig, and sweet spices. DISCOVER ORANGE WINE IN THIS VIDEO!

Review and comment by Mr. FREDERIC B. Posted on 12/21/2024

I'm not usually a big fan of this type of wine, but this one charmed me with its full-bodied palate and lovely finish. The astringency of the tannins is well-controlled.
