WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Wildmakers Brisas Orange is produced using 100% Muscat of Alexandria grapes. The winemaking process involves spontaneous fermentation, where native yeasts are utilized. A key technique is the 30-day skin contact period, characteristic of orange wine production, where white grape skins remain with the juice during fermentation. The grapes are hand-harvested. The wine has a medium body and a dry profile with medium-high acidity.
