Almost white in color, sweet nose of candid citruses, floral notes with a bit of minerality. Quite simple in taste, made in a more dry style with is a benefit here.
Orange
2015 Weingut Hajszan-Neumann Natural Wiener Gemischter Satz Austria, Wien, Wiener Gemischter Satz
87 points
From Gemischter Satz, DAC appellation in Austria since 2013. What is interesting is that Gemischter Satz means mixed cultivation of wine, meaning that different grape varieties are grown next to each other and are harvested at the same time with various ripening levels. About the wine nice deep orange color, on the nose a mix of raisins and herbs with secondary notes similar to wines made from grapes affected by noble rot. The test is more into a direction of umami, mushrooms, saltines that fruit-forward. Long finish settling on the palate. Quite specific, can be enjoyable if someone is into this style.
Orange
2016 Khareba Mtsvane Monastery Qvevri Wine Georgia, Kakheti

Made in Qvevri (clay jug) , deep orange with shades of bright red, nose a bit wet, oily, mineral, with secondary notes of saffron and tobacco. Medium tannic, lack a bit of concentration.

Really interesting and condensed nose, flowers, rose with secondary notes of well-matrued rum or cognac. Great fruit on the palate, fresh and refreshing really enjoyable to drink. I've really enjoyed such an interpretation of orange wine.
Red
2018 Vitae Di Bidini E Vannelli S.S. Società Agricola Chianti Ati Italy, Tuscany, Chianti
Natural wine, medium-dark color. Funky nose with a bit of liquor on a second sniff. Fruit forward, simple, honest taste with a medium finish. Perhaps lacking some accent on the end. I'm wondering if this is how young wine tested 50-100 years ago before technological improvements in wine

Dark ruby color, can't tell much about the nose. Taste with simple fruit freshness with a very short finish.
