Thank You! Yes, Obi Wan is always trying to get into the picture, I think he understands that I am being filmed and he wants to get the attention. This was one of the rare times we let him. 😅
Thank You, I think so too. And I have also started to develop preference for specific grapes (that are made in orange wine style). Un funny enough those are not the same as for regular white wines! 😉🤷♀️
Great! 🙌 There really is not a reason why these wines shouldn’t age as well as other white and red wine. 🤷♀️ happy You have had a good experience with them, as I have as well! 🥂💫
@@NoSediment well that's just it! I feel we wine geeks watch blind tastings mostly to learn about deduction and watch experts show off, but this feels like someone just having sheer fun exploring! Keep it up 🥂
@@NoSediment v I can imagine. Orange wines loses most of its varietal character. The stuff tastes widely different from normal vinified wines, you might end up liking a orange wine version of a grape you don’t normally like.
I might like to try the Wachau Amphora Riesling; I've had one Riesling from Macgregor Vineyards on Keuka Lake that had mild tannins from a pre fermentation soak of 1 day or so. Once I got used to it, it was decent.
Yes, I think it is important to get used to the style, before really starting to enjoy it. For Riesling though, I think sometimes it can taste austere, and my personal opinion is that, there are other grape varieties more suited for amber winemaking. 🤫
Love to see orange wines! What grape(s) were used for the one from Sicily? I also love how Pinot Grigio orange wines can make such a beautiful dark pink color!
I have a bottle of Sybille Kuntz Estate Mosel Organic Orange Riesling Trocken 2020. I can’t drink it because it taste like apple juice in a bad way. I also like your score method. I do the same ten point scale.
I know Sybille Kuntz quite well, but I have never tasted their Orange wine. Maybe Riesling is not meant for skin contact winemaking, and it is best to enjoy it made in a more classic way.
In Georgia, they call it "Amber Wine". They don't like the term "Orange wine", because it's not actually orange in color, and it is confusing to consumers who sometimes think it's made with oranges. And as someone who works in the wine retail industry, I'd have to agree with the Georgians. I hate the term "orange wine", because 1) it confuses people who are new to wine, and 2) as someone who previously worked as a graphic designer for over 20 years, and pretty much dreams in Pantone, I have NEVER seen an "orange wine" that is anywhere near "orange" in color....
It does confuse people, because the first thing that can pop in mind is that it is made from Oranges. 😂😂😂 However, to my knowledge, Georgians want to reserve Amber wine for their wines only, which I am trying to respect. 🫡 So what they would say is, is that all amber wines are orange wines, but not all orange wines are amber wines. 👌
hello Agnes, your content is always excellent, I always look forward to your videos, a question that you think of the wines that are called "vinos en rama" are those that have no chemical physical treatments that can alter or attenuate the color, aromas or flavor Of the wine". In other words, you experience the closest thing to tasting in person in the winery, extracting it directly from the barrel or from the vat, without subjecting it to the usual clarification and stabilization processes prior to bottling.
Hi, thank You for the comment. 🙏🏻 I was under the impression that “en rama” was a Spanish term for Jerez wines that are bottled unfiltered, straight out of the barrels. 🤷♀️ Anyway, I have always been fan of those wines, and preferred, especially when enjoying there on the spot! 🙌🍾✨
I will not be the right person to ask. To my understanding it is a mastery and very few people can make such large containers out of clay material. 🥂✨🍾
@@NoSediment I was thinking of one a whole lot smaller. Maybe 4-8 liters. The family keeps trying to get me to take a pottery throwing class with them. I might do it just to see if I can make one.
@@VektrumSimulacrum in that case it should be much easier, and similarly as winemaker of Beckham estate in Oregon, You can make wine in Your own amphoras! 🙌
Excellent video , tasting wine styles you'r not usually spending time on. France? So'2? Alive Cooper still relevant . When I first saw him on stage he was killing live chickens as performance art. Cheers
The violent swirling of the wine glass makes me dizzy. A winemaker from Friuli (Friaul, Italy), who produces orange wine, explained in a documentary that you should never swirl the glass so much.
