Producer: JOMA by Johanna Markowitsch (Weingut Markowitsch)

Overview:

JOMA Orange Spektakel is an orange (amber) wine — a style made from white grape varieties fermented with extended skin contact, which gives the wine a deeper color, texture, and complexity compared to conventional white wines.

Appearance:

Light orange to amber hue with a slight cloudiness typical of natural orange wines.

Aroma (Nose):

Aromas of fresh orchard fruits such as apple and apricot, soft peach, herbal notes, and gentle citrus peel character. There can be subtle floral or spice nuances as well.

Taste (Palate):

Dry with lively acidity and a textured mouthfeel from skin contact. Flavors balance between stone and citrus fruits, light herbs, and sometimes a delicate minerality. The presence of tannin-like structure from the grape skins gives a slightly savory edge uncommon in regular whites.

Finish:

Moderate, with lingering fruit, gentle bitterness from citrus peel, and a refreshing mineral component.

Production Style:

1. Whole clusters undergo extended skin contact (about 15 days) to extract color and phenolic texture.
2. Wild (spontaneous) fermentation in open tanks.
3. Aged on lees for months with minimal intervention, often unfined and unfiltered, and only a small amount of sulfur added at bottling.

Overall Profile:

JOMA Orange Spektakel is light, dry, and refreshing with more texture and complexity than a standard white wine. Its skin‑contact character gives it subtle tannins, bright acidity, and a nuanced interplay of fruit and savory notes — making it ideal for sipping on its own or paired with a variety of foods.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

Pairs especially well with grilled fish or chicken, Mediterranean appetizers, salads with herbs, and richer seafood dishes; the acidity and texture help complement spice and fat.
