Who loves a funky orange wine? How about a long-aged orange wine? This 2010 beauty from Roxanich Wines in Croatia’s Istria region is their current vintage! 70 days of skin contact. 6 years aging in large wooden vats. Unfiltered. This wine is a field blend of equal amounts of seven varietals: glera, Friulano, Verduzzo, Riesling Italico, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris. ———————————————— This wine is not for everyone! It is acidic, has a slightly bitter flavor, oxidative qualities, but is also exploding with fruit - dried apricot. I drank the whole bottle over the course of the evening including with pork ribs and veal stew. The wine is great with food and opened up beautifully over time. A truly fantastic orange wine. ————————————————- The name of this wine is Ines U Bijelom, which in Croatian means “Ines in White.” The wine is a tribute to the winemaker’s wife Ines. This wine is available in our web wine store (link in profile). ————————————————- #orangewine #orangewines #fieldblend #winesofcroatia #istriawine #winesofistria #crackingcroatianwine #wine #vino #sauvignonblanc #pinotblanc #pinotgris #glera #riesling #friulano #verduzzo https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DaSt6HlII/?igshid=h3ioxol6qgql
