story

There is an insightfulness to pairing the age-old culture of Georgia orange wine with the ethos of Vermouth. Georgia is believed to be the cradle of orange wine; Georgians, however, prefer to call their wines amber. Hundreds of years of culture and experience come together to produce passionate and beautiful Vermouth; Baldoria Orange Wine Vermouth.

Separate macerations of botanicals in a hydro-alcoholic solution (grain-neutral spirit and water) and wine. Natural sugars are diluted in wine solution, followed by blending of the two macerations. Aging in steel tanks followed by light filtration and bottling. Some natural sedimentation is common across varieties. No Flavors, no extracts, no colorants, no clarifying agents, no preservatives.

tasting notes

Vintage Georgian “orange” wine is the base for this highly expressive style, which displays many of the assertive, oxidative notes of the “base” wine (baked apple; caramel; orange peel)complemented by savory, spicy herbal notes. Delicately sweet, with an earthy bass note. The Baldoria Vermouth Orange uses a Georgian Rkatsiteli grape. Dating back to 6000 BC the Rkatsiteli grape has a flavor profile that includes notes of green apple, citrus, and herbal hints, deeper notes of honey and walnut, and a rich amber color.
