We make this orange wine almost exactly as we do our red wines. For us that process starts with world class sustainable farming and low winemaker intervention in the winery. 15% of the fruit is left whole cluster, 85% destemmed. Fermentations are left to start by native yeasts so can take a few days to get going. Fermentations concluded after 15 days but we kept the wine, skins and stems together for another 20 days (35 days total on the skins). After the wine was pressed off its skins half went to old barrels and half to tank. To maximize the wines character, we only lightly fined and filtered it which may add a hazy hue to the wine in your glass. Don’t be concerned! This wine offers aromas of orange peel, dried apricot, white peach, floral, potpourri, roasted nuts, hints of ginger and wild strawberry. The palate is full and rich with silky tannins. As we have a dollop of pinot grigio which naturally has a pink hue, our Daisy Hazy has a slightly pinkish quality to the amber color.
