"The white wine that wanted to grow up to be a red!"
Have you ever had a white wine that wanted to be aged like a red wine? Now you have! Introducing Opus Orange, an orange wine straight from Savoie by the Guillaume Quenard estate. Orange wine is a macerated white wine that is enriched with natural tannins to give subtle aromas such as delicious notes of candied fruit, mandarin, and yellow fruit. It reveals great minerality and salinity on the finish. A supple and harmonious wine. All that's left for you to do is have fun pairing it with original food and wine combinations!
