Very natural - cloudy with meatballs and a sort of a pineapple cider twist

There is next to nothing online about Montepila, an obscure grape from Andalucia. This winemaker uses it for orange wine, really a pale peach hue with undertones of honeysuckle, apricot, and almonds. Delicious.

A fun orange wine, softer acidity but fun fruit with Szechuan dishes at Fung Tu.

Floral extended skin contact white with kites of ripened apricot. Who knew that an orange wine pairs songbird with egg noodles and black bean and clam.

A lightly "orange" wine made from the near-unknown Montepila grape. Savory with subdued yellow plum, Marcona almonds, beeswax & sand. A whiff of becoming VA, too.

Peachy hues, light caramel, cloudy colors, deep texture opens up along the sips.

Peach in color. Wood and honeysuckle on the nose. Super light on the palette low acid, short finish. Touch of nectarine but otherwise really mellow

Wow, tastes like prosciutto with queso and chips A+, red delicious apple on the nose and prosciutto in the boot
