The strength of orange blossom suggestions is quite pronounced in this wine, with a strong emphasis on both the taste and the scent.

The apricot stone fruit is a sweet and juicy delight

A floral and fragrant white wine with a prominent character of malvasia grapes, offering a delicate floral floral notes with nuances of honeysuckle, cream, and lychee. The wine's body is medium in size, with a intense consistency that complements the sweetness of honey, peaches, and cream. A mild minerality adds substance to the wine, during an off-dry linger rounds out the experience.

What the web is saying

Caduceus Merkin Vineyards Shinola Orancia is noted for its pronounced orange blossom and citrus aromas. While some appreciate the sweet apricot and floral notes, others find the minerality and medium body add depth. The wine's off-dry finish is generally well-received, though opinions vary on its intensity.

Voss Experts4.5

This intriguing orange wine presents a captivating hue reminiscent of sunlit amber. The bouquet unfolds with layers of dried apricot, orange zest, and a hint of marzipan, underscored by a subtle floral note of chamomile. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied structure with a harmonious interplay of vibrant acidity and gentle tannic grip, characteristic of extended skin contact. The finish is long and complex, echoing nuances of honeyed nuts and a whisper of spice. A commendable example of the skin-contact style, this wine offers both depth and elegance, inviting exploration beyond the conventional.
