TOP TIPS, TRUTHS & MYTHS - Orange wine isn’t just a new trend, it’s a glimpse into what wine may have been like thousands of years ago. So how is it made? Orange wine is a type of white wine made by extending contact with grape skins (and seeds) during winemaking. Orange wines often taste more like dry red wines because they have tannin. How does it taste? Most orange wines aren’t sweet and have bold, honeyed aromas like fleshy tropical fruit, hazelnut nut, bruised apple, linseed oil, sourdough, and dried orange rind. On the palate, they’re bold, dry, and have tannin (like unsweetened iced tea) with a sourness similar to a fruit beer. Because of their natural acidity and tannin, orange wines pair with a wide diversity of foods. Food Pairing? Because of their boldness, orange wines pair well with equally bold foods. In fact, some of the best matches with orange wines include foods that are often hard to pair with wine. For example, the tannin in orange wine helps cut through the bold and spicy flavours found in curry dishes and Indian cuisine. 2024 Fin wines Speedo Gris Skin Contact Pinot Gris Nagambie Vic $30 retail $30 black hearts and sparrows Strawberries, watermelon Fresh and juicy all ripe stone fruit, pears, mandarin peel light chalky texture. #orangewine #skincontact

GRAPE MINI MOMENT - Chardonnay I tasted this the other day and made me think YEP! Chardonnay is back… One of the worlds most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from sparkling Blanc de Blancs to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak. I often say that Chardonnay is a winemakers dream? WHY? Its ripens in a range of climates, and has reasonable vigour BUT Ultimately its about chardonnays malleability… While winemakers are prone to say that wine is made in the vineyard, however chardonnay loves to be layered with character from winemaking techniques, The art is all about enhancing without distracting. Chardonnay gives wine a relatively high level of alcohol which can often taste slightly sweet has played a part in its popularity and has often seen the use of oak in its winemaking which has added to chardonnays appeal But what flavours do you get?… it all depends on the where and how Loosely … stone fruit Yellow apple Pineapple vanilla 2021 Tony Bish Heartwood Chardonnay Hawkes Bay NZ $49 retail brilliant Light bright AROMA rich ripe stonefruit and apple lattice pie - with hints of vanilla from the light toasted Taransaud oak YUM!!!! its svelt Medium bodied silky and long PALATE with a combo of lemon meringue pie and warm pie crust YEP now thats proper chardonnay More like this please … #hawkesbaychardonnay #chardonnaynz #grapeminimoment
