A bright golden amber color emerges from the wine’s extended skin contact in the glass. Aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, wildflowers, and chamomile lead into a palate layered with stone fruit, ginger, and a subtle tannic grip. A mix of floral and herbal undertones adds complexity, while vibrant acidity keeps the wine lifted and fresh. The finish is long, textured, and slightly saline. The structure and depth of ‘Naked Orange’ make it versatile to pair with food, particularly those with rich textures, spice, or umami-driven flavors. It pairs well with Middle Eastern and North African cuisine, such as spiced lamb kebabs with harissa yogurt or Lebanese mezze featuring hummus, baba ganoush, and za’atar-spiced flatbread. The wine’s floral and citrus elements complement roasted root vegetables like carrots and fennel, while its tannic grip balances creamy dishes like pumpkin risotto with sage.
