KLEIN AMOSKUIL Obscura Orange 2022

Stoney minerality and yellow fruit core flavours. Fresh acidity and broad tannins give texture to the wine.

Obscura Orange is made from Grenache Blanc grapes from Darling. The grapes were destalked and gently crushed into one qvevri with natural fermentation starting spontaneously after three to five days. Fermentation lasted for approximately 14 days, during which time the cap was punched down with a special wooden tool four times a day. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was left on skins for a further six weeks, still receiving gentle daily punch downs. This maturation on the skins helps in the extraction of tannins and gives the wine its unique characteristics and amber hue. With no additives or adjustments made, the tannins aid in preserving the wine, acting as a natural alternative to SO2. After 8 weeks on the skins, the final wine is drawn from the qvevri and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Some natural sediment may occur. ONLY 500 BOTTLES.
