About This Wine


Gold Ghost

Orange

Gold Ghost presents a captivating creation inspired by the spirit of adventure and the pursuit of hidden riches. This ripe and fruity "orange wine" is crafted from Albariño grapes and offers abundant floral aromas, ripe tropical fruit notes and enticing textures. The trendy term "orange wine" is simply a skin-contact white wine, meaning it has been fermented or briefly aged on its grape skins to gather texture, flavor, and color. After harvest, the Albariño grapes are pressed, and rather than separating the juice from the skins, they are left to mingle for seven days. After the wine is fermented at cool temperatures, it rests in contact with its sediment or "lees" for four months, revealing rich textures and an enchanting amber hue. If you've never tried an orange wine, Gold Ghost invites you to embark on a delicious journey into the unknown. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Gold Ghost 2023 Orange Clarksburg AVA, California

Wine Region


Clarksburg

Lying south of Sacramento in the California Delta, Clarksburg is a small but productive AVA where quality Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grow in abundance. The San Francisco Bay has a strong influence here, bringing in fog and cool breezes that temper the valley heat. With its flat, mineral-rich clay soils, vines thrive in Clarksburg, needing little attention to produce plenty of quality grapes. Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Albariño and the red variety Petite Sirah also produce great wines here.
