Orange Contact - SGU 2022
Orange Contact SGU from Vivanterre is a blend of:
30% Auxerois, 30% Pinot Blanc, 20% Gewurztraminer, 10% Ugni Blanc and 10% Grenache Gris grapes.
The Auxerois, Pinot Blanc and Gewurztraminer grapes are sourced from Alsace — the Auxerois and Pinot Blanc from Rosenwiller from an organic and biodynamic vineyard with clay-limestone soil and 50 year old vines, and the Gewurztraminer come from Heiligesnstein from 35 year old vines.
The Auxerois and Pinot Blanc were co-fermented and aged in Foudre.
The Gewurztraminer was fermented separately, and aged in both stainless tanks and Amphora.
All three varietals were macerated on their skins for 3 weeks.
The Grenache Gris and Ugni Blanc are from the South of France near the town of Pinet, and were co-fermented and aged in fiberglass tanks and on the skins for 2 weeks.
There was no fining, filtering, or SO2 added during any phase of winemaking.
Blending took place, before bottling in late June 2022.
