Waas Semillon Orange is a distinctive and expressive wine that showcases the unique potential of Semillon grapes. Produced by the innovative Waas winery, this orange wine is crafted with a skin contact fermentation method, where the juice is left to ferment with the grape skins, resulting in a wine with a beautiful amber hue and a complex, full-bodied character.
On the nose, it reveals aromas of dried fruits, honey, and subtle notes of spice and herbs, with a faint hint of citrus. On the palate, Waas Semillon Orange offers a rich and textured mouthfeel, with flavours of apricot, candied orange peel, and a slight earthiness. The tannins are soft yet present, contributing to a wine with great structure and a long, lingering finish that leaves a pleasant sensation of minerality.
Waas Semillon Orange is a wine that challenges traditional conventions, providing an exciting alternative for those who are seeking something bold and different. It’s a wonderful choice for those who enjoy wines with depth, complexity, and a unique twist.
