Slobodne - Oranžista 2022

(Hlohovec, Slovakia) 

The Oranžista has been one of Slobodne's trademark orange wines since 2015. 100% Pinot Gris that is only partly fermented on skins and using plenty of whole bunches to create a super mild and delicate extraction. The result is a light orange wine, but with so much fruity and herbal goodness, layers of flavour, and a long finish. Super versatile with food due to its lean structure. 

Slobodne are a fascinating family-run winery going back to the early 20th century. They rebuilt their farm over the past 25 years following a 50-yr break due to the hardships of WWII and then 40 years of communism. Now run by two sisters and their two partners, they are making some of the most exciting skin-contact wines around today.
