Notes on the Wine
Pink-hued and funky, this skin-contact orange wine brims with clementine and orange peel notes on the nose, supported by an overtone of honeysuckle. The light palate has a texture reminiscent of citrus pith and tingles with freshness, while clementine and white pepper notes are highlighted by the bone-dry nature. It is compelling and wonderfully light.
Notes on the Producer
Produced in partnership with three small family owned vineyards, Naken is a unique creative project in the Burgenland region of Austria. Following historic traditions, the grapes are processed as they would be for red wine, fermented on the skins for several days. The result is a beautiful and delicate orange-rosé color with a higher concentration of tannins and structure along with a creamy body style.
All biokult vintners are obliged to certified organic production, environmental protection, biodiversity, and the promotion of healthy soils in their vineyards. Abstinence from artificial fertilizers and stabilizers guarantee unadulterated enjoyment.
Cooperation of this group of dedicated organic vintners has resulted in a fresh new image for organic Austrian wine and an unique attractive brand. Successful sales of their organic wines sourced from high-quality fruit began with the 2005 vintage. This success was preceded by years of work on their joint project “quality improvement through organic viticulture.”
