NV California Star "Love Me Love Me Not" Orange

California's adventurous spirit fills every glass. California Star "Love Me Love Me Not" Orange blends Chardonnay and Orange Muscat into a vibrant skin-contact wine that balances texture, freshness, and aromatic lift. Fruit from the cool Sonoma Coast joins expressive Muscat from Lodi, creating layered complexity without sacrificing energy. Gentle skin maceration adds structure and a glowing amber hue, while lively acidity and a subtle saline streak keep each sip bright and refreshing. This distinctive orange wine delivers character in abundance and rewards curious palates with every pour.

Nose: The aromatics burst with personality. Orange blossom, lemon zest, ripe peach, mango, and lychee mingle with hints of baked apple, wildflowers, and delicate spice.

Palate: Textured yet remarkably lively. Juicy citrus, pear, and orchard fruit glide across the palate as gentle tannins, savory herbs, and saline minerality build depth and intrigue.

Finish: Crisp, layered, and satisfying. Lingering notes of orange peel, almond skin, and subtle tea-like grip fade gracefully alongside mouthwatering freshness.

Bold flavors find an ideal companion. Serve with Thai curry, Vietnamese cuisine, grilled shrimp, roasted chicken, creamy Brie, Camembert, or roasted root vegetables. It also complements charcuterie and aged cheeses with effortless balance.
