Chicane Orange - Skin Contact 2021

Chicane Orange – Skin-Contact 2021

A white with a rebellious soul and the footprint of a serious wine. Made from the Encruzado, Bical, and Malvasia Fina grape varieties, this orange wine undergoes skin maceration and ages in used barrels, revealing complexity without losing its vibrancy. On the nose, notes of black tea, orange peel, and dried herbs emerge. On the palate, it is textured, with well-defined tannins, firm acidity, and a dry, elegant, and provocative finish. Natural, authentic, and straightforward — as it should be.
