Château Lestignac Michel Michel 橘酒自然酒 - 750ml

Three weeks of skin contact really shows in the depth here—the lees aging gives it a creamy texture that balances the tart, tangy finish beautifully. Poured a glass after dinner and it held up surprisingly well over the evening, even as it warmed.

That amber color is gorgeous in the glass, and the lees aging gives it a creamy texture you don't expect from an orange wine. It's dry and complex, with a pleasant grip from the skin maceration that makes it perfect with food.

The three weeks of skin contact gives it such a deep, rich character that you can really taste in every sip. It's got that nice leesy texture from aging, though it's lighter than I expected for an orange wine. Perfect for a slow afternoon with some charcuterie.
