New to the UK and exclusive to Juiced Wines is Hellen Orange 2022, the latest wine in the iconic Calcarius collection. This zingy and refreshing Orange wine is made from Greco Bianco grapes that come from an area characterised by white pebbles and limestone subsoil. After harvest the fruit is fermented spontaneously with maceration on the skins for 15 days, with the cap being broken by hand and then aged for 6 months in steel tanks before bottling.

The juice is fresh and clean with an oxidative style that bursts with big and bold blood-orange vibes from the nose to the finish. Slight mineral notes on the finish but generally a very well-balanced and smooth orange wine that we fell in love with on our recent trip to Puglia.

Valentina Passalacqua is a trailblazing young natural winemaker in Puglia, a region not exactly known for biodynamic, no sulfur wines. She took over her family’s land (used only for cattle grazing since 1900), located inside Gargano National Park, to create a diverse farm that includes indigenous grape varietals. Her family considered the land too difficult, too poor, for crops, not realizing that they were actually sitting on a precious marble mine – or soil that happens to be amazing for vines. The rocky, mineral-rich soil does not retain water (also great for vines), and proximity to the sea means cooling breezes and ventilation (another plus). Valentina’s wines are pure, elegant, never soupy as you sometimes see in wines from Puglia (it’s hot there). Because, she is careful about canopy management (to ensure grapes don’t get cooked) and picks early to retain freshness and acidity.
