"The white wine that wanted to age like a red!"

Have you ever come across a white wine that was meant to be aged like a red? Well, now you have! Introducing the Opus Orange cuvée, an orange wine straight from Savoie by the Guillaume Quenard estate. Orange wine is a white wine made through maceration, which enriches it with natural tannins to produce subtle aromas—such as the delicious notes of candied fruit, mandarin, and yellow fruits found here. It reveals great minerality and salinity on the finish. A supple and harmonious wine. All that’s left is for you to have fun exploring original food and wine pairings!
