Purity Wine Orange Carbo-Crush Oakstone

Really nice. Has orange fruit notes backed with roussanne floral perfume funk. Crisp and a good texture, balanced. Held really well all evening. All around works the orange thing into a good place where the sum of technique and grape is greater than the parts.

Burnt Hill Summer Solstice Festival (Clarksburg, Maryland) : So, this is really fun. Skin-fermented, semi-carbonic Roussanne – and it works! Texturally deep but fresh, with a pleasant bitterness and lots of complex spicy, floral tones. Fascinating and, yeah, weird, but it works. I bought a bottle to blind some wine nerds on and mess with them.
