2024 Muller Ruprecht Orange

A natural orange wine from the Pfalz region of Germany, made from a blend of Huxelrebe, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer grapes hand-harvested from estate vineyards farmed without pesticides or herbicides. The wine undergoes 10 days of skin contact fermentation in stainless steel, then ages briefly in neutral oak barrels. Left unfined and unfiltered to preserve its hazy appearance and creamy texture. The Huxelrebe showcases its Muscat parentage through aromatic qualities, while Chardonnay adds richness and savory depth. A light-bodied wine with low alcohol around 10.5% ABV and sharp, focused acidity.
