Supernova Danjou Banessy Espira de l’Agly VDF ORANGE WINE 2020

Supernova Danjou Banessy Espira de l’Agly VDF, biodynamic wine, orange wine, Muscat d’Alexandrie, sublime fruit, lush texture, stunning aromas and tension. Supernoiva is certainly a wow factor wine. The grape Muscat is intensely aromatic and grapey in aroma and with the 2 weeks skin contact and 6 months maceration in barrels with a little oxidation, they become richer, wilder and more expressive with dried fruits, candid elements and sweet spice. The palate is more precise with each passing vintage and makes for much easier drinking. This is a stunning entry for Orange wine for those not familiar with the style and for the converted, simply a delicious bottle of wine.

Grapes and wine have been part of the Danjou & Banessy families for many generations.

While the tradition has always been for fortified and rancio wines, the addition of vineyards during the 50's allowed them to build a ‘library’ of old wines. In 2001, Benoit Danjou took the reins, joined by his brother Sébastien a few years later. They are the keepers of the family’s style, and stock, of old fortified wines, whilst also adding light wines to the range. Domaine Danjou-Banessy uses a single-vineyard approach to winemaking across its 17 hectares of land, using vines with an average age of 60 years. The wine production method is fully biodynamic and non-interventionist, and has been for generations. All of these factors lead to delicious wines that are lively, elegant and softly textured.
