Oveja Naranja

Learn More About This Wine

The Oveja Series is a “dynamic” range of limited releases. Under these labels Fontana bottles single fermentation tanks that are the result of the work and experiments in the vineyard. The varieties and quantities bottled will vary from year to year, but all Oveja labels are interesting and fun and show the potential of the area and grape variety. The sheep on the labels represent not only the region and heritage, but are also a symbol of the honest approach to winemaking. 

This orange wine was produced from aromatic grapes (Gewurztraminer and Muscat) stemming from high-altitude organic vineyards in Central Castile. Grapes were harvested by machine and brought immediately to the estate-of-the art winery in Uclés for destalking and crushing before the wine was sent to stainless steel vats for maceration in contact with its skins. Maceration lasted for four months and 1 day, with minimal intervention of sulphur dioxide, with the aim to extract colour and tannins. This orange wine resulted in 5900 bottles of bright gold-amber colour, intensely aromatic in the nose, displaying intriguing aromas of ripe stone fruit with a pungent note of grapefruit and ripe apples, typical from the maceration process. Medium-bodied and fresh on the palate, it shows a beautiful, tannic structure, which converts it into a highly versatile food wine to play with all sorts of dishes.
