🌿 A playful, aromatic style that keeps you guessing
🔥 A juicy, textured pour with subtle intrigue
🌾 A floral, expressive wine that dances on the palate

These wines are lively, soulful, and crafted to let their personalities shine.

With warmth (and a full glass),
— Holly

‘Kottabos’ Skin Contact Chenin Blanc 2024

A skin-contact Chenin Blanc from one of South Africa’s most exciting winemakers, Reenen Borman. Kottabos is a small side project focused on experimental, site-driven wines, and this release comes entirely from the Karibib Vineyard in the Polkadraai Hills. Whole-bunch fermented with 4–5 days of skin contact, then aged in old French puncheon for 11 months. The result is a textured, clean, and lifted Chenin with subtle grip and energy to spare.

Tagine with apricots, grilled halloumi, roasted root vegetables, miso-glazed cod, aged Manchego.

Golden citrus, hay, honey, chamomile, and pickled ginger. Silky texture with light tannin and bright acidity. A clean finish with mineral edge and spice.

Orange Cubique Pierre 2023


Orange Cubique François is a vibrant and structured skin-contact wine crafted by François Bléger at his family estate in Saint Hippolyte, Alsace. The Gewurztraminer grapes are hand-harvested from organically farmed granite vineyards, and undergo a 12-day whole-bunch maceration using natural carbonic maceration. After gentle pressing, the wine is aged for 9 months in a combination of foudre and stainless steel tanks. The result is a beautifully balanced orange wine with aromatic floral notes, citrus peel, and a touch of spice, all supported by structured tannins, making it both intriguing and easy to drink.
Fun Fact: Gewurztraminer, known for its aromatic intensity, takes on a whole new dimension when vinified as an orange wine. The extended skin contact during maceration enhances its natural spiciness and adds a unique tannic structure, making it a perfect match for flavorful and spicy dishes.

Les Vins Pirouettes is a project launched by Christian Binner, that brings affordable natural wines to the table, and at the same time helps organic and biodynamic grape growers in Alsace move away from selling their grapes to cooperatives towards making and bottling natural wines. Each cuvée is made at a young grower’s winery, where they supply the grapes and Christian supplies his 20 years of expertise in making natural wine in Alsace, and of course his marketing and distribution savviness. Each cuvée will feature the name of the grower on the bottle. - Jenny & Francois

Naranjito Skin Contact Verdelho 2022

Naranjito is a skin-contact Verdelho from McLaren Vale, Australia — vibrant, citrus-driven, and full of texture. Picked late for phenolic ripeness and fermented on skins for 180 days, this is a bold, expressive orange wine with real depth. Unfined, unfiltered, and made from biodynamically farmed fruit, it’s both serious and seriously drinkable.

Roast duck, Moroccan-spiced carrots, aged gouda, Korean fried chicken, grilled shrimp tacos.

Ripe orange and tangerine, ginger spice, Nashi pear, preserved lemon, fine tannins, and bright acidity. Cloudy, structured, and refreshing with a slightly savory edge.
