This wine is named after Marc Overmars, the Dutch soccer player (the Dutch wear orange jerseys, this is an orange wine...). But as Joseph Mosse elaborates: “It can also be interpreted in other ways, like space exploration or the pursuit of something. Am I going too far?”
Seven day maceration on the skins with daily punchdowns. Aged for eight months in old Burgundian barrels. 20mg per liter of sulfur added at bottling
Light bodied, notes of bruised apples, pears, lemon zest and mandarin oranges. Has a nice minerality, and is very well balanced.
