Fossil & Fawn Oregon Orange 2023

Grapes: Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc

The grapes for Oregon Orange come from four dry farmed, non-certified organically farmed vineyards in the Willamette Valley. This blend of Gewürztraminer (for spice, weight, and aromatics), and Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc (for brightness and texture) spent 10-months on the skins in egg shaped fermenters.

After pressing, the wine aged for an additional month in old French oak barrels.

This orange wine is dry, textured, and medium-bodied with a pleasing kick of tannins. The palate expresses flavors of citrus, orange blossoms, rosewater, and bergamot with a satisfying spicy finish
