2018 JOSEPH SWAN "CATIE'S CORNER" CUVEE ORANGE
2018 JOSEPH SWAN "CATIE'S CORNER" CUVEE ORANGE, RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY, CALIFORNIA. 100% Grenache Blanc
From the winemaker" "We make two different wines from Catie's Corner GB grapes each year; a traditional white wine in which the grapes are whole cluster pressed before fermentation in small stainless steel drums, and a second wine in which we treat it just like our pinot noir, with fermentation on the skins for up to three weeks before aging in older, neutral barrels. The latter is labeled Cuvée Orange.
Although the term orange wine refers to its being somewhere between and white and red wine, the wine actually has an orange tint to it! Aromatically it is also reminiscent of oranges. Not normal, typical oranges but some exotic, wild orange. There are aromas of flowers and herbs as well. Although I don't think of the texture as being that much like a red wine, it is definitely fuller bodied, more viscous and more structured than a white wine. The flavors follow through from the aromas, with a richness that almost implies a hint of sweetness. An intriguing and utterly delicious wine!"
