<p>ORGANIC / BIODYNAMIC / VEGAN / GREEK WINE / ORANGE WINE</p><p>A clean, food-friendly blend of assyrtiko and roditis from Greece’s typically red-only Naoussa region. Expect notes of zesty tangerine, blood orange, peachy stone fruit, clove, and a touch of salinity. The palate is rounded, sapid and delicate; with a nice minerally finish. Made with gentle skin contact for colour and tannic grip, and minimal sulphur.</p><ul><li> Origin: Naoussa, Greece</li><li>Producer: Artisans of Naoussa Vignerons</li><li>Vintage: 2023</li><li>Grape variety: Assyrtiko, Roditis</li><li>Food pairing: BBQ, shellfish and fish, poultry, cheese</li><li>Bottle size: 75cl</li><li>ABV: 12%</li></ul><h3>Flavour profile</h3><p>Deep golden in the glass, with lifted aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, wild herbs, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it’s structured but fresh, with flavours of stone fruit, tea-like tannins, and a subtle oxidative edge. There’s plenty of character here, but it stays clean and drinkable: balanced and full of personality.</p><h3>About Artisans of Naoussa Vignerons</h3><p>Artisans of Naoussa is a collective of small-scale growers in the Naoussa region of northern Greece. Their goal is to showcase the region’s native grapes and old vines through low-intervention, organic winemaking. With a focus on sustainability, and local expression, their wines highlight the diversity and richness of Greek terroir.</p><h3>About Greek orange wine</h3><p>Orange wine (aka skin-contact white wine) is made by fermenting white grapes with their skins, just like red wine. Greece, with its wealth of native varieties and traditional methods, is an ideal home for orange wine, and producers like this are helping redefine it with wines that are textured, aromatic, and expressive, without being overly funky or extreme.</p><h3>How to pair it</h3><p>Brilliant with spiced dishes, roasted vegetables, and Middle Eastern or Mediterranean flavours, think grilled aubergine, tahini, or slow-cooked lamb. Also great with strong cheeses or mushroom-based dishes. Chill lightly, and don’t be afraid to decant.</p>
