2024 Sauvage Orange
Grape Varietal— Gewürztraminer
-
Krinklewood's second attempt at Orange wine features an exclusive label by renowned Brooklyn-based artist Wayne Pate. His celestial and Byzantine-inspired design perfectly reflects the wine’s ethereal elegance, capturing the surreal calm and warmth of early summer evenings under the Australian sky.
Crafted with 100% Organic and Biodynamic Gewurztraminer grapes, the 2024 Sauvage Orange is a testament to devotion, patience, and artistry. Traditional techniques—foot-stomping, fermentation on skins, and gentle basket pressing—unveil an enchanting palate of orange rind, tangerine, and subtle 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 embraced a fully oaked approach, starting with fermentation in a one-tonne wooden vessel, layering in 10% whole bunches at the bottom of the tank for a delicate carbonic maceration. After four weeks on skins, it was gently basket-pressed and aged for eight 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 come through with a zesty lingering finish. This wine is unfiltered & may appear cloudy in the glass.
