Ceci n’est pas Orange (This is not orange)
“Ceci n’est pas Orange” is a nod to the Belgian artist René Magritte and his painting “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.”
This cuvée is made from the Vermentino (Rolle) grape, which was fermented with skins and seeds for 3 to 4 months, making it officially an “orange wine.”
However, Vermentino is not a grape known for deep color, which explains why the wine does not display a bright orange hue in your glass.
