Golden Child Tropicana 2023
Golden Child ‘Tropicana’. What a wine. A glorious blend of Verdelho and Sauvignon Blanc.
If you have never tried an orange wine before, this is the wine that will kick-start the rabbit hole for you.
Fermented on skins for one week and aged in seasoned oak for six months, this unfined and unfiltered wine delivers a full-flavoured experience with serious character.
Expect bright citrus and tropical fruit notes, supported by mouth-filling texture and phenolics. Think juicy fruit punch meets structure and soul, with zippy acidity and a creamy grip that makes every sip compelling.
BUT WHAT IS AN ORANGE WINE, WHAT A CRAZY CONCEPT (you may say to yourself)...
Well, this traditional style of wine originating in Northern Italy and Eastern Europe. The fermenting process is similar to how red wine is made, with the juice fermenting on the white grape skins.
The end result...a wine with an amber or orange hue, plus exotic aromas, flavours and tannins.
