Bojo do Luar Doralice 2021 Review

Orange (skin-contact wine) has really gained in popularity. Which is amazing. Old wine regions like the Minho in northern Portugal probably have a long history with this style along with their wines from the famous nested Vinho Verde region. But this is a region of high acid whites which are wonderful for the amber hue. Bojo do Luar uses the native Loureiro for their skin contact wine and does something we have never heard of before. They put chestnut flowers in the fermentation tank. This imparts depth and concentrated roundness to the wine. The nose is a bit spicy with some agave, honeysuckle, and a hint of lilies. The palate is the definition of refreshment for this style of wine with high acidity and a soft saline vibe balancing the aromas. Great wine.
