Fitapreta A Laranja Mecânica
Descripción
Disruptivo, inquietante, incluso desconcertante pero de una forma absolutamente deliciosa. Así definen desde su bodega a este orange wine, su "naranja mecánica" en un guiño a la famosa película y a la presión a veces insoportable a la que en ocasiones nos enfrenta la vida. En el caso de este coupage del Alentejo esa presión mecánica es la ejercida sobre los hollejos de las uvas para obtener todo su rico néctar. En suma, una interesante propuesta por su intensidad y concentración para aquellos que busquen la transición ideal de blanco a tinto.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2020 a Laranja Mecânica is basically an orange wine, although classified as a "curtimenta," referencing skin contact with the juice. It is a field blend of typical grapes (like Arinto, Roupeiro, Verdelho, Antão Vaz, Alicante Branco and Fernão Pires) from vines ranging from 25 to 50 years in age. It comes in at 12.5% alcohol. A rather gentle and understated orange wine, this is beautifully balanced this year. Then, it adds dried peaches and apricots on the finish. It's still a bit different and not for everyone, not exactly your typical white, but it doesn't go overboard in power or eccentricity. It's well done this year, but it is certainly something you will need to drink with a food pairing. It should hold reasonably well, but I'd drink this on the younger side, no matter how longer it theoretically lasts. There were 8,395 bottles produced.
