Art Series Viktor Riemer 2022 | Orange | Douro
Intro: Art series is Quinta do Javali first biodynamic orange wine project. Every year a new artist is selected to do the label on this 300-bottle limited edition range. Sarah Choo Jing was the selected artist for this Diptych series. The art shows giant phantom members dancing and walking their way through the Douro.
Region: Douro (D.O.C)
Winery: Quinta do Javali
Grapes: Arinto & Viosinho
Aging: 10 days skin fermentation
Tasting Notes: Orange color, with golden tones, but with the typical turbidity of a 100% natural wine. The nose of this Orange Wine forces us to meditate. The long maceration of the grape skins released aromas of quince and orange peel. Coexistence with sediments in the bottle promotes the release of earthy aromas and tree bark. In the mouth, the Natural Art Series Orange is challenging. An enormous richness in tannins makes the wine “full-bodied”. White grapes produced at altitude preserve an acidity that is balanced with the material of the wine.
ABV: 12% Serving Temp: 8-10 °C Pairing: Cheese board, Garlic Shrimp, Bruschetta
