Low intervention Evidenced The Standard

La Sapata Orange Feteasca Regala

Why this is on Broken Compass: Classified orange in our records. The producer's own notes describe unfined. Supplier sheet: certified organic. Producer notes: wild or indigenous yeast.

What to expect

Skin contact, so expect a wine with grip and a little tannin, dried apricot and orange peel, and a savoury edge. Cloudiness is normal and welcome.
