INTRO TO SOLARA ORANGE WINE ROMANIA –

Solara Orange Wine Romania is a dark straw colour with an aromatic nose reminiscent of quince with a strong fruity structured palate.

FULL TASTING NOTE AND WINE MAKING –

Solara Orange Wines is dark straw in colour with orange hints, the nose is a delicate mélange of quince, poire william and a hint of vanilla. A complex and structured wine, with elegant but discreet fruit flavours of stone fruits, backed up with a powerful tannin structure and long finish. A natural minimal intervention wine which is well balanced and structured yet pure and incredibly fresh. It is a blend of native grapes and international varieties including Feteasca Alba 51%, Sauvignon Blanc 19%, Chardonnay 15%, Tamioasa Romaneasca 15%.

The vineyards are surrounded by mountains which dominate the landscape and allow the vines to be planted in cooler areas at high altitude.

Refreshing like a white wine, with the complexity of red wine. This orange wine is made by leaving the grape skins and seeds in contact with the pressed juice, creating a deep orange-hued finish. The wine ferments naturally without the addition of yeasts, sulphur or any other additions. The different varieties are then blended and before a natural cold stabilisation, and bottled unfiltered and unfined. It does not undergo any oak aging.
