Tasting notes:
Italian Plastic Golden – Orange Wine. With up-front aromatics and florals, it starts out all skinsy and tropical with notes of tangerine and stone fruits. Refreshingly dry on the end for an easy-drinking finish.
Food Match:
It pairs exceptionally well with vibrant, savory dishes, including grilled octopus, curry, antipasto, and fried foods.
Region/Producer: Italian Plastic Golden – Orange Wine
Based in McLaren Vale, South Australia, Alpha Box & Dice are embarking on an Alphabet of Wine.
Each ‘letter’ embodies an individual winemaking project, with the end goal being a complete collection of wines that celebrates the diverse styles and varieties found in South Australia’s famous wine regions, including McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley.
Since its beginning in 2008, AB&D has become a champion of South Australia’s alternative – particularly Mediterranean – varieties, exhibiting innovation at every step of the process by bending traditional winemaking norms.
The grapes are picked in the morning, destemmed, fermented on skins for 10 days, pressed gently, and aged in old barrels and steel.
