Orange wines, also known as macerated wines and amber wines, have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their deep yellow color, complex flavor and slightly tannic mouthfeel. This style of wine is produced through a process of maceration – prolonged contact of the must with the berry skins. A process that is otherwise common for red wines.
Lepa Vida oOo (Out of Office) is a tribute to our wine tradition and is our version of orange wine. oOo is made from Istrian Malvasia grapes and a smaller portion of Rebula. Both varieties are picked at the same time and also processed together.
During the 10-12 day fermentation, the must remains in contact with the berry skins at all times, creating a wine with a rich golden color and full flavor. The berry skins leach mannoproteins and tannins that give oOo its unique characteristics.
You can call it orange wine or amber wine or any other name. To us, it is simply oOo.
Although it is classified as an orange wine, Malvasia is clearly dominant in Lepa Vida oOo. The wine will surely delight orange wine lovers with its precise and intense aromas of fresh and dried peaches, dried apricots, orange blossom and a number of Mediterranean herbs such as thyme, oregano and lavender.
Completely dry and full-bodied, with gentle tannins and relatively low acidity. This unique combination allows oOo to maintain freshness and drinkability despite its intensity and complexity.
Pairirng with food: roast chicken, pork, pastas, risottos and with most of the mediterranean-style starters, from prosciutto and melon to truffle arancini.
