WINE MAKING PROCESS
Oragech is produced using organic viticulture practices. The key winemaking technique involves gentle skin maceration of a blend of Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Pálava, and Traminer grapes. This process is designed to impart a subtle orange color and nuanced flavors without excessive extraction. Following maceration, the wine is aged for over a year in old barrels, allowing for integration and development. The harvest for the 2024 vintage occurred in August. Milan Nestarec's approach is rooted in his 'Kaizen' philosophy, emphasizing continuous improvement, experimentation, and organic production to create wines that reflect their origin.
