2025 Pied de Cuve Orange #2

2025 Pied de Cuve Orange #2

The 2025 Pied de Cuve Orange #2 is our new skin contact white, made from Chardonnay grapes. Our original Orange wine, a Riesling, has now been named #1, so this second Orange wine becomes Orange #2! The #2 is a rich, textured, full wine with exotic citrus aromas, crisp fresh acidity and great length.

Pied de Cuve are Little Farm's natural wines. these are wines that receive almost no intervention from start to finish and are therefore a pure reflection of the place, the grape and the vintage. Pied de Cuve is a technique to start a fermentation using only the yeasts that are naturally occurring on the skin of the grapes.

2025 was a great year in British Columbia as the vineyards bounced back with a great crop after almost no crop in 2024.

The organic Chardonnay grapes for this wine were foot trodden and left to ferment naturally on the skins for around 9 days before gentle pressing and then finishing their fermentation and spending another 8 months ageing on the lees in stainless steel.

Deep, bright orange in colour with an intense nose of ripe peach, honey, tea leaves, orange zest and dried flowers. The palate is richly textured, full and soft with a light zesty grip and stony minerality with peach skin, nectarine, lemon verbena and a long finish. 

Perfect for pairing with umami rich dishes and roast chicken doused in lemon juice.
