Catch & Release Wines - 'Block Party' Orange Wine (750ML)

This skin-contact white wine is a deeply tropical, aromatic blend that beautifully balances ripeness with freshness. A unique combination of Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and Riesling undergoes extended skin maceration, creating a wine with rich texture, vibrant flavors, and a harmonious tension. Fermented with native yeast and aged sur lie in neutral oak, this wine showcases a perfect interplay of complexity and drinkability—delicious from start to finish. It’s the Swiss army knife of skin-contact wines, versatile enough to pair with a range of dishes yet compelling enough to stand alone.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Aromatic and tropical, with notes of ripe stone fruits, lychee, and subtle floral spice. A hint of citrus zest adds freshness.

Palate: Lush and textured, featuring tropical fruit flavors like mango and apricot, with a touch of honey and spice from the Riesling’s noble rot. Light tannins add complexity without overshadowing the freshness.

Finish: Clean and mouthwatering, with lingering tropical fruit and a soft, savory edge. Balanced acidity leaves a refreshing, dry finish.
