Um Laranjinho Orange Wine

Um Laranjinho is a Portuguese orange wine made from 60% Arinto blended with 40% other white grapes, fermented with the skins. The name means "a little orange one", and it is exactly that: a friendly, approachable way into skin-contact wine.

Tasting notes

Orange wine is white wine made like a red: the juice stays on the skins, which brings colour, gentle tannin and aromas of dried citrus, apricot and tea. Arinto is known for its high, lemony acidity, so expect a fresh, zesty backbone under the skin-contact texture.

Food pairing

Try it with petiscos: pica-pau, fried peixinhos da horta, grilled octopus, or a spiced curry. It also stands up to cured cheeses.

About orange wine in Portugal

In Portugal skin-contact white is called curtimenta, and the method has deep roots in the Alentejo talha tradition. A new generation of winemakers now makes it with grapes like Arinto across the country.
