2023 Orange Muscat Ottonel

86 Cases Produced

Delight Wine Vineyard

Walla Walla Valley AVA

 

This is not your grandmother’s Muscat; we prefer a more dry profile for this wine, allowing the tropicality and fresh floral aspects of the grape to fully express themselves. Adding skin time bolsters the structure and uniqueness, too. While not as wacky as last year’s orange Muscat, the 2023 is a delightful yet complex summer sipper.

 

Whether you’ve been riding the orange wine train for years or it’s your first skin contact rodeo, our 2023 Muscat Ottonel is for you. Seven days on skins give this bright and aromatic wine a playful orange hue in the glass and Delightful *pun intended* notes of kumquat mimosa, thai basil, white tea, and orange blossom. A dry finish, barely-there tannins, and tangy finish will leave you on cloud nine, dreaming for more. Bring a bottle to your next family game night; we can confirm your crazy aunt will be hooked on orange wine in no time.
