Boris’s tip: Any kind of food in strong sauce. So tasty wine.
We placed mature Gray Pinot grapes of 2013 into an earthenware vessel called a “kvevra”. It was fermented along with native yeasts and macerated for 6 months. The wine was aged for a year in an oak barrel, and bottled without filtration. Lutum is of a shiny amber colour, with an aroma of dried orange peel, dried fruits, figs and a nicely astringent taste. It will predominantly please lovers of mature full flavours.
ORANGE WINE
Orange wine, also known as skin-contact white wine, skin-fermented white wine, or amber wine, is a type of wine made from white wine grapes where the grape skins are not removed, as in typical white wine production, and stay in contact with the juice for days or even months. This contrasts with conventional white wine production, which involves crushing the grapes and quickly moving the juice off the skins into the fermentation vessel. The skins contain colour pigment, phenols and tannins that would normally be considered undesirable for white wines, while for red wines skin contact and maceration is a vital part of the winemaking process that gives red wine its color, flavor, and texture.
MACERATION
Maceration is the winemaking process where tannins coloring agents and flavor compounds are leached from the grape skins, seeds and stems into the must. To macerate is to soften by soaking, and maceration is the process by which the red wine receives its red color, since raw grape juice is clear-grayish in color.
