Swipe up on the Casa Lluch Orange 2024 from winemaker Jordi Lluís in the warm, sun‑bleached vineyards around Valencia, Spain, where old‑vine white grapes soak slow on their skins to give an amber‑hued natural wine with gritty texture and complex, almost cider‑like depth; this is a skin‑contact orange wine that tastes more alive than polished.

You get bruised apple, dried apricot, toasted almond and dried flowers on the nose, with a tart, almost sour‑beer lift and a savoury line of salt, herbs and faint phenolic grip that keeps the mouthfeel zippy rather than heavy. The palate rolls out juicy stone‑fruit and a nutty, oily weight, finishing dry and faintly tannic, like a first‑squeeze olive pressed straight into the glass.

The Casa Lluch Orange 2024 is built for gutsy plates: grilled sardines, seafood skewers, patatas bravas, salted anchovies, Manchego‑style cheese and charcuterie boards all light up next to its grippy, oxidative buzz. If you’re hunting an affordable, small‑batch Spanish orange wine that tastes wild in a good way, this 2024 amber‑coloured Valencian pour is the bottle to grab.
