2026 Sauvage Orange
Grape Varietal— Gewürztraminer 100%
-
The fifth release in our Orange Wine collection, the 2026 Sauvage features an exclusive label created by contemporary artist Marisabel Gonzalez.
Crafted from 100% Organic and Biodynamic Gewürztraminer, the 2026 Sauvage Orange embodies the belief that true beauty comes from resilience. Through traditional techniques—foot-stomping, fermentation on skins, and gentle basket pressing—this wine reveals a captivating palate of orange rind, tangerine, and delicate whispers of clove and ginger.
Unfiltered and bottled in-house, each bottle stands as a unique reflection of its craftsmanship. It pairs beautifully with spicy, tangy Asian dishes—vibrant and daring, much like the wine itself.

Winemaker Valentina adopted a fully oaked approach, beginning with fermentation in a one-tonne wooden vessel, where 10% whole bunch Gewurztraminer were layered at the bottom of the tank for a delicate carbonic maceration. After four weeks on skins, it was gently basket-pressed and aged for six months in a 500L puncheon. Malolactic fermentation introduced soft, buttery notes, rounding out its complexity.
The palate is rich in notes of grapefruit, with a complex tannic structure from the long skin contact period. More notes of peach tea emerge, accompanied by a zesty, lingering finish. This wine is unfiltered & may appear cloudy in the glass.
