Podillia Terraces orange wine honoured at a natural-wine competition
The 30-day skin-contact orange wine won an award at a natural and low-intervention wine competition.
The Podillia Terraces winery has earned recognition at a competition of natural and low-intervention wines: its 30-day skin-contact orange wine received a jury award. This wine spends a month in contact with the grape skins, acquiring a deep amber colour, pronounced tannin and a complex aroma with notes of dried quince, black tea, orange zest and honey. The jury praised its clarity of execution and its balance: despite the rich structure, the wine remains drinkable and food-friendly. "For us this award confirms that Podillia limestone is capable of producing orange wines of world class. We make them honestly, with no sulphur at the start and no cosmetics," comments winemaker Svitlana Terpka. The estate stresses that all of its natural cuvées are created with minimal intervention, on wild yeast and without excessive filtration. The competition recognition marks an important step for the young winery, which is steadily building a reputation as one of the centres of craft winemaking in Podillia. The awarded wine is available in a limited batch at www.podilski-terasy.com.ua.
