Product Description:
In a vintage where nature conspired to concentrate flavour, our Inclusion Orange emerges as a testament to the unexpected beauty of adversity. Crafted from Frontenac Gris, sun-kissed into raisins on the vine, and a touch of Seyval Blanc, it presents a tapestry of flavours - from field berry to guava, wrapped in a soft tannin embrace.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, aromas of field berry, jolly rancher, and guava. The palate is soft, with a hint of tannin. Vibrant peach juice colour with a hint of salmon.

Winemaker's Notes:
Wild fermented and left on the skins for 18 hours before being pressed off. The ripeness of the Frontenac Gris resulted in a deeply red colour tannin even from a short time on the skins. There is a small amount of residual sugar left despite the wild yeast.
