FEATURES
🏰The 2022 Danjou Banessy Supernova is an 【exceptional organic and biodynamic orange wine from 70+ year old Muscat of Alexandria vines, offering a unique profile of wild flowers, dried apricot, and a savory, mineral-driven finish】. This orange wine is made from 100% Muscat of Alexandria grapes, with vines over 70 years old. It undergoes a 1-month infusion of whole (slightly crushed) grapes and 10-12 months of aging in oak barrels, unfined and unfiltered. The estate is certified organic with biodynamic practices. The nose is like a field of wild flowers, with fresh squeezed peach and tropical fruit juice on the palate, but without sweetness. It's aromatic and savory with notes of orange peel, dried apricot, herbs, and a grippy, mineral finish. Expect a hazy, medium to deep copper-orange hue, with pronounced intensity of dried apricot, lime, fresh flower bouquet, briny, and spicy notes. The palate is dry, with medium refreshing acidity, medium slightly grippy tannin, and a medium body.
🍴 This distinctive orange wine is a fantastic match for tagines with preserved lemon, grilled sardines with chermoula, charcuterie boards, and aged Comté. It also pairs well with braised lamb in apricot nectar and Israeli couscous, duck, goose, game birds, Iberian cured meats, stews, and hotpots.
🥂 Ideal for adventurous wine drinkers looking for something truly unique, this Supernova is perfect for an aperitif with gourmet snacks, a Mediterranean-themed dinner, or a gathering with friends who appreciate natural and expressive wines.
