LUCKY GRAPE

Description

ORANGE 🍊 | CHESTNUT 🌰 | SAVORY VEGETABLE 🥬

The 2022 Oxid Chestnut is an expressive orange wine made from 70% Fernão Pires and 30% Moscatel Graúdo – in a microproduction of only 1,330 bottles, handcrafted by winemaker André Duque Lourenço. This vintage reflects the special terroir of granite soils and the hot, dry summers of the Central Iberian climate.

Spontaneously fermented with 10 days of skin contact and then aged for 9 months in local chestnut barrels – a minimally fermented wine, grounded yet powerful. No temperature control, no topping – just pure craftsmanship.

In the glass, it displays a deep orange color. Aromas of orange peel, spicy herbs, and dried fruits emerge, accompanied by a subtle nuttiness. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with lively acidity and a dry, structured finish. Layers of ripe stone fruits, roasted nuts, and a savory, vegetal note unfold with every sip.

A true gastronomic wine with ageing potential – perfect with strong cheeses or flavorful desserts.
