Union Sacre 40 Days Orange Wine

“These wines are made by two friends from different continents. Union Sacr exists at the meeting of worlds. Made by two long-time friends, Xavier and Philip, who arrived at the Central Coast from opposite ends of the Earth. Xavier is a WSET certified, Oenology degree holder from France; Philip is a self-taught designer from Michigan who kind of misses living in a van. Between the two of them, Xavier and Philip have 25+ years of experience working in Central Coast wineries.

The wines of Union Sacr are focused on elegant, single vineyard, single varietal wines that are table-friendly. Our varietals are representative of the Alsace region of France which includes Pinot Noir and dry-style Gewrztraminer, Riesling, and Pinot Gris.

Union Sacr is an homage to beautys odd ability to build unexpected bridges. These are not wines of privilege and power. These are wines made from a lifetime of labor for the untelevised tables that unite the very heart of the world.” -Union Sacr

“A cloudy orange in the glass, this skin-contact blend of 40% Gewrztraminer, 30% Pinot Blanc, 20% Pinot Gris and 10% Sylvaner is enjoyably exotic. Aromas of dewy sagebrush, ruby-red grapefruit juice and steel shavings lead from the nose into a palate full of lemongrass, green apple skin and makrut lime peel. Hard-to-describe herbs and spices round it out.” – 92 points, Wine Enthusiast
