Charles Frey Maceration 2024

Get to Know: Charles Frey Maceration Orange Wine

Tasting Note

A bold and expressive orange wine from Alsace, this macerated blend of Gewurztraminer and Riesling delivers a heady mix of exotic fruits and floral spice. Aromas of lychee and wildflowers lead into a palate of spiced tangerine, dried apricot, and papaya, balanced by zesty acidity and delicate tannins. The unfiltered, biodynamic approach adds texture and depth, making this a vibrant yet structured wine with a lingering, dry finish.

Try this with a hearty spiced vegetable stew or a full-bodied cheese platter.

Kate Says

“If you’re curious about orange wine, this is a cracking place to start. It’s aromatic, textured, and packed with personality - like Gewurztraminer with an edge. Try it with spicy food, or just enjoy it on its own and let the flavours unfold.”
