Grape Abduction Company Orange 2023 (LITER)

$19.00

Location: Slovenia, Štajerska

Winemaker: Peter Gönc

Grapes: Pinot Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Riesling

Soil: sand, marl

Winemaking: aged 5 months in stainless steel

Orange: clean and fresh expressions of richer, honeyed aromatics—golden delicious apple, clove/cinnamon/garam masala spices, citron and wild flowers, backed by very gentle tannin and a smoky grassiness.

From the importer JP Bourgeois: From far off in space, we observed your little blue and green planet, spinning around your great yellow sun at unimaginable speeds – well, at least they are unimaginable to you. And we realized that there was one special place on this planet with the perfect conditions to grow wine fit for the tastes of space: Stajerska, Slovenia.

Grapes as diverse as Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and even the hard-to-pronounce ones (we’re looking at you Žametna Çrnina) thrive in the harsh environment of these rocky hills. Made entirely by…erm, hand…and treated with the highest degrees of technology and care, we have created three wines that truly give you the taste of the cosmos. Space juice, of you will.

And if you ever found yourself gazing up at the sky and asking: do aliens make wine? Now you have your answer.
