Free To Be Orange Wine 2025

R250,00
Our orange wine is produced from a small batch from the Honeybunch vineyard, the Chenin Blanc grapes are fermented on the skins followed by a post fermentation maceration for a total of 60 days on the skins. This results in an intriguing wine with a creamy, broad entry and a gently savoury acid.

Tasting Notes & Previous Vintages:

A bold and textured skin-contact Chenin Blanc showing aromas of orange blossom, dried apricot, honeycomb, cinnamon, and ripe stone fruit. Thirty days of skin fermentation bring depth, structure, and a gentle phenolic grip, while maturation in older French oak barrels adds texture and integration without masking the fruit. The palate is layered and expressive, balancing richness with freshness and a subtle savoury complexity. Distinctive yet approachable, it finishes long and persistent, revealing a wine that is both adventurous and beautifully composed.
