Château de l'Ou L'Orange de L'Ou Muscat of Alexandria 2020

Neil Blaze

Orange wine is typically not my jam, and this one was only marginally better than others I've had, but still interesting. On the nose, floral aromas and notes of beeswax, apricot, and honey led me to think that this was going to be a sweet wine. Nope. It was dry, but those aromas still came through on the palate. The extended skin contact during winemaking contributed a nice amber hue. 100% Muscat of Alexandria. 8/17/22.
