The Vice Orange of Gewurztraminer 750ml

The Vice is a small Napa winery in St. Helena founded by Malek Amrani. The founders do all the work themselves, from hauling fruit to sales, and most of its whites get extended skin contact; one release included five orange wines.

The 2024 release is 100% Gewürztraminer from Los Carneros, made with extended skin maceration and bottled at 11% alcohol. Earlier releases carried the name Brooklynites 5.0.

Expect lychee, rose petal and white peach, with blood orange, cardamom and warm spice and the light grip of a skin-contact white.

Against Borgo Savaian Aransat, The Vice is the more perfumed, lower-alcohol orange wine; for lychee and rose from a single grape, choose The Vice.

Serve it lightly chilled. Its spice and perfume suit Thai curries, Moroccan tagines, Indian dishes and washed-rind cheeses.
