Barmes buecher Mue orange 2022

This skin-contact orange wine comes from France, built around Pinot Gris from the 2022 vintage. A quick word on the grape: Pinot Gris is a white grape giving fuller-bodied, gently aromatic wines with ripe pear, stone fruit and a soft, rounded texture. This is an 'orange' wine — a white made like a red, left to soak on its skins, which gives it an amber glow, a gentle grip and loads of savory character. France is the spiritual home of wine, the place that gave us most of the world's classic styles and the whole idea that where a wine grows shapes how it tastes. Bring on the richer plates — roast chicken, creamy sauces, salmon. Serve it well chilled.
