Union Sacre 40 Days Orange Gewurztraminer 2024

Made by two friends from two continents and two different traditions, Union Sacr is an homage to beauty's strange ways. This white wine sees 40 days on the skin, giving it its lovely orange hue. ABV:12.3%

The primary aromatic descriptors used to define Gewurztraminer are typically lychee, rose petal, Turkish delight, tropical fruit and perfume. On the palate, it is marked by its full texture, low acidity, stonefruit (mango, peach and apricot) and spicy (ginger and cinnamon) flavors.

The variety gets its distinctive aroma from the presence of monoterpenes in the skins (as does the perfumed Muscat family) and while the variety has many fans, its detractors often object to any one of its hallmarks, from the pungent aromas to the low acidity, the oft-encountered residual sweetness and the sometimes detectable phenolic astringency.
