2023 Florez Wines, Kind Of Orange Skin Fermented

Details

Years past Kind of Orange was made from Sauvignon Blanc from Mendocino. Unfortunately, that vineyard fell into disrepair, and Kind of Orange had to be reinvented. While I was listening to a podcast featuring John Kongsgaard in which he was talking about how Viognier was an aromatic variety with notable tannins the light bulb turned on for me. How ideal for an orange wine! Opportunely, Viognier had just become available to me from a promising site near by and I knew it was the perfect fit.

Expression

This vintage has remained naturally hazy with a rose gold color. Further amber color will develop with time in bottle. Aromatics of peach cobbler and spiced stone fruits with medium tannin and a juicy palate. Best served cool. Kind of Orange is a spinoff name from Miles Davis jazz album Kind of Blue. Kind of Orange conveys a mood or vibe. 13.0% ABV
