SKU: FRA-TETE-NAT-ORANGE-750

Appearance: It boasts a captivating and mysterious coppery pink color with intense amber reflections and orange flashes. Being an unfiltered natural wine, it may present a slight and alluring turbidity that certifies its artisanal purity.

Nose: Fascinating, deep, and ever-changing. It unfurls complex layers of candied bitter orange peel, ripe tangerine, dried apricot, and dried peaches, masterfully intertwined with rustic notes of dried flowers, black tea, ginger, and a subtle background of bakery and fresh yeast.

Palate: Broad entry with an imposing personality. Its differentiating factor is the wonderful presence of fine and silky tannins contributed by the skin maceration, giving it a unique body. It displays a crisp citrus acidity that balances its earthy structure, finishing with an intensely dry, mineral, saline, and astonishingly long finish.

Precision Gastronomic Pairing: Its light tannic structure and pronounced mineral acidity make Tete Nat´Orange a supreme gastronomic chameleon. It harmonizes excellently with fine charcuterie, semi-cured and aged cheese boards, terrines, and country pâtés. It is the perfect companion for spicy Asian cuisine (such as Thai curry, Peking duck, fatty sushi with condiments, and even dishes with kimchi). In Mediterranean cuisine, it shines alongside hearty rice dishes, roasted suckling pig, and game birds. For Mexican gastronomy, its textured soul is ideal for complex moles (Poblano, Negro, or Oaxacan), chiles en nogada, lamb barbacoa tacos, Michoacán-style carnitas, and well-seasoned zarandeado fish.

What is the optimal serving temperature for Tete Nat´Orange Wine?

Unlike a conventional rosé that is served very chilled, this wine has tannic structure and great aromatic complexity from its skins. Therefore, it is recommended to serve it slightly less chilled, ideally between 10°C and 12°C. If it is too cold, its fascinating notes of dried fruits and spices would be hidden.

Is it normal for the wine to look a little cloudy in the bottle?

It is completely normal and a sign of authenticity. As it is a 100% natural wine, the Tete winery forgoes industrial clarification and heavy filtration processes. These small suspended particles are natural sediments from the yeasts and skins that organically protect the wine and give it its incredible volume on the palate.

Is it a sweet wine due to its aromas of candied fruits and tangerine?

No, it is a strictly dry wine. Its mature and citrus aromas may suggest sweetness on the nose, but once it enters the palate, it stands out for its total absence of residual sugar, showcasing a very clean, direct, fresh, and distinctly tannic profile.

How should this natural skin-contact wine be stored at home?

As it contains no added sulfites or chemical preservatives, it is a living and sensitive wine. It is imperative to store it in a cool, dark place free of vibrations, preferably in a climate-controlled cellar at a constant temperature (around 12°C to 14°C) to ensure it maintains its vibrant energy intact.
