Diem D'Ora Orange 2023 1L

AUSTRIA : NIEDERÖSTERREICH : WEINVIERTEL

ORGANIC : Grüner Veltliner, Roter Traminer

MED-BODIED, STONEFRUIT, GREEN APPLE, SAVORY HERB, LACTIC, NO OAK

Four weeks on the skins in 800-liter tanks, with a touch of malolactic fermentation for creaminess — fifth-generation winemaker Gerald Diem's approach to skin-contact white from his organically farmed Weinviertel vineyards. The 1L format is the tell: built for pouring through a meal, not for saving.

Expect orange creamsicle on the nose — apricot, lychee, rose petal — and savory herb and white pepper from the Grüner Veltliner. Skin contact builds body and tannin grip without weight; the lactic note from the partial malolactic adds a smooth, creamy line through the finish.
