Nothing Rhymes with Orange - March 2021 Orange Box

La Tollara, Il Ranuccio

Region: Colli Piacentini DOC - Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Varietal: Malvasia di Candia

In Brief: Well hello... Navel oranges and black salt take a trip to the flower market. An orange with nuance we can't get enough of.

Day Wines, Vin de Days L'Orange

Region: Willamette Valley AVA - Oregon, US

Varietals: Müller-Thurgau, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer

In Brief: One sip and you're in a meadow surrounded by wildflowers. It surrounds you with light, dry passion fruit, sticky burnt orange, and a touch of smoke. 

Les Vins Pirouettes by Binner & Compagnie, Eros By David

Region: VdP - Alsace, France

Varietals: Pinot Gris, Riesling

In Brief: Juicy, honey-soaked peaches and jasmine. It's delicate, dry, and exactly what you'll want when the sun starts shining again.

Quinta do Olival da Murta, Serra Oca Moscatel Graúdo 

Region: Óbidos DOC - Lisboa, Portugal

Varietal: Moscatel

In Brief: Smells like petrol and a hair salon, but in a nice way. Dry, saline, and tastes like Turkish apricots. It spent 6 days on its skins which imparted a lovely grippy texture.
