Kyoeido 2024 Summer Release Orange Wine

This wine was direct pressed, fermented with skin contact, and then barrel fermented for approximately two months in 500L medium barrels, followed by two months of fermentation in large barrels.

・From Mr. Kobayashi of Kyoeido:
Lightly cloudy apricot color. Pear, apple, and vinegar aromas leap out. There are also notes of gooseberry and apricot.
Rose, hay, chili pepper, and honey-like aromas are also present.

The palate is slightly soft, with a hint of oak and a margarine-like oiliness.
As the temperature rises, more spice and pine nuts emerge. The finish is relatively long, with lingering acidity and a mineral quality like limestone.
Given the focus on the finish, it might be good to drink from a regular glass. Also, since it's summer, it will be served chilled, but I think it's best enjoyed at room temperature.

It would pair well with pan-fried pork with fruit sauce or mustard. Boiled chicken breast with anchovy sauce could also be interesting.
The flavor is quite strong, so it's best to consider that when pairing.
