Dharma Orange

ABOUT THE WINE

• Dharma Orange is all about the quintessential essence of natural winemaking made using the most natural processes possible. The grapes are organically farmed using traditional methods dating back 200 years.
• The winery is organically certified and all grapes are delivered to the tanks via gravity and fermented with native yeast.
• The wine is vegan in that no animal products were used in any part of the winemaking process. GMO free. Single Vineyard. SO2 is kept at or below 30ppm.
• Co-fermented grapes, the wine was meticulously cellared on its skins in a concrete egg for 8 months before being pressed off and aged an additional 4 months before being bottled.

 

Vintage: 2023 | Wine Type: White Wine
Varietal: 40% Semillon  / 30% Torrontes / 30% Chardonnay
Origin: Argentina | Appellation: Single Appellation, Tupungato, Mendoza
Elaboration: Hand picked and hand sorted. Destemmed and delivered to concrete fermentation tanks via gravity. The cap is gently submerged during ferment. Then it is left on its skins without needing much SO2 because of the high level of antioxidants in the grape skins. After it has acquired an orange color and is slightly tannic, it is gently drained and pressed off, given another minimal SO2 addition and bottled fresh.
Winemaker: Kirk Ermisch

TASTING NOTES
