POL OPUESTO, El Otro Lado Torrontes Orange 2019 Bottle

Description

Intense orange wine full of tropical fruit flavours, apricots, pithy citrus fruit and dry tannins. The wine is cloudy with plenty of leesy crud to satisfy the most demanding of gloop aficionados!

Pol Andsnes was inspired by the quality of skin contact Torrontes being made across Argentina and really felt that this technique was the key to bringing out the potential of the variety. 10 months maceration on skins during ferementation with indigenous yeasts before a further 5 months ageing in old French Oak barrels. Bottled without fining, filtration and a small amount of sulphur at bottling.

Pol recommends the local speciality of Matambre de cerdo (pork flank steak) marinated in lemon juice and grilled over charcoal.

Note from Pol himself : "Tasting notes have a hypnotic power of suggestion… I prefer not to tell others what they’re supposed to taste in their mouths as they try my wines."
