Mt. Boucherie 2022 No.4 Orange 750ml

Modest Wines’ 2022 No.4 Orange opens with a lifted, tea-like perfume of bergamot, dried apricot, and orange blossom, layered with gentle herbal tones of chamomile and lemon verbena. On the palate, it’s both textural and bright—skinsy grip framing juicy mandarin, peach pit, and a subtle saline edge that keeps everything taut. The extended maceration brings a pleasant, earthy depth—think dried citrus peel and a hint of white pepper—while the finish glows with citrus oil and soft tannin. Energetic, quietly wild, and beautifully balanced, it’s a vivid example of skin-contact winemaking done with finesse.
