Big Salt Orange Rose 2023
$27.00Add to cartBig Salt is a white wine that winemaker’s Ovum say is their attempt to capture a day at the beach in a bottle, this Orange Rose is blend of that fresh white with Pinot Gris skins to create a cranberry sunset colored wine that is incredibly unique. This is the perfect way to ease your friends and family into the orange wine category. It’s salty with notes of tea, spice, and late harvest red apple skins. Truly an interesting wine worth tasting—especially chilled down.

Borachio Resistance is Futile 2022
$39.00Add to cartIf you’re familiar with Star Trek, at least more than I am, then the name for this cuvée may intrigue you. In this open-ended query about the growing predilection for orange wines, Mark and Alicia ask us to consider the constitution of a good orange wine. The composition of this particular wine is almost equal parts Pinot Grigio (41%), Sauvignon Blanc (41%) and Chardonnay (18%). All grapes were de-stemmed and sealed to macerate and integrate for a couple of weeks. Residual grape matter is ushered into the bottle to add dimension, alluding to the holistic approach of the winemaker. A floral bouquet of jasmine and wildflowers is registered on the nose. On the palate, this wine is reminiscent of lemon curd and peach iced tea, with chewy tannins and a smooth, lasting finish. Decanting is encouraged by the winemakers, so if you’re not pressed for time, it might behoove you to do so. Serve chilled and ponder whether resistance truly is futile.

Borachio Summer Nat! 2022
$27.00Add to cartPerhaps we’re slightly nostalgic for the warmer months when it’s high time to imbibe in rosé, but this succulent Pétillant Naturel (Pet-Nat for short) is a welcome respite from the dreary days of December. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc (78%) and Cabernet Franc (22%) from vines in Blewitt Springs in McLaren Vale and Forreston in the Adelaide Hills, the grapes are directly pressed before fermenting. On the palate, the brisk acid from the Sauvignon Blanc is potent yet forgiving, with a tropical fruit medley that melds wonderfully with the baking spices and tart cherry of the Cabernet Franc. This wine’s effervescence and garnet hue make it a youthful choice to accompany your holiday gatherings. Serve chilled and, in the words of Alicia and Mark, “open with gusto, or creep the cap off, SANTÉ!” – Ella

Dolores Cabrera Fernández, Valle de la Orotava La Araucaria Rosado 2023
$29.00Add to cartWe love the wines of Dolores Cabrera who focuses on Listán (Blanco and Negro) across Tenerife. She loves 100+ year old vines, and while her husband Pedro helps in the cellar she employs a team of women to pick because she believes they are more deft at picking grapes during harvest. The soils in the la Orotava are a mix of volcanic and clay. There’s a distinct earthiness and crunch texture to the wines. The Listan Negro Rosado (rosé) is absolutely vibrant and our favorite of her wines. It’s got rich red berry fruit but also a deep spiced cherry core that’s helped along by salinity, smoke, and earthiness.
