Additional Info:
Kind of Orange is an orange wine (skin-contact white) from Florez Wines, a California producer focused on organic and minimal-intervention practices that began in the Santa Cruz/San Benito region. This bottling is made from organically grown Viognier grapes sourced from inland Cienega Valley; after harvest, grapes undergo three weeks of extended skin contact (about 25% whole clusters), followed by about six months of aging on lees in neutral French oak before bottling unfined and unfiltered with little to no added sulfur. The name references a jazz vibe and the winemaker’s creative approach, aiming for expressive texture, vibrant acidity, and layered fruit without added manipulation.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
