The Vice · Orange of Gewürztraminer · Los Carneros, Napa Valley · 2024
Malek Amrani’s The Vice is a Bay Area natural wine project built around a radical idea: take one of the world’s most aromatic white grapes — Gewürztraminer, the “Spice Traminer” that has thrived in cool climates since 16th-century Germany — and vinify it like a red wine. The result is an orange wine of rare expressiveness: 100% unfiltered Gewürztraminer from Los Carneros, Napa Valley, fermented with wild yeast and extended skin contact that extracts the grape’s natural color, tannins, and flavor compounds in a way that no conventional white wine vinification can replicate. 100% vegan. Low sulfites (Free SO₂: 33mg/L). Aged 7 months on lees in stainless steel. At $24.99, this is one of the most distinctive and compelling orange wines made in California.
A vivid, expressive bouquet leaps from the glass: lychee, rose petals, juicy white peach, and a whisper of exotic cardamom. On the palate: silky and seamless, with layered flavors of ripe melon, tangy blood orange, and warm spice. A pitch-perfect balance of sweetness and acidity — residual sugar just 2.19g/100ml — keeps it fresh and vibrant through a long, spiced finish. Serve slightly cool. Drink now through 2027.

Producer Notes
“The Brooklynites 2.0,” Malek Amrani second orange wine, is made from Gewurztraminer grapes grown in Los Carneros, Napa Valley. The orange hue of this wine comes from the skin contact and maceration during fermentation; the same process that gives red wine its color, tannins and also contributes to its flavor. Exotic and flamboyant, this wine roars out of the glass with sweet notes of mandarin, lychee, pink grapefruit and rose.
The same flavors are initially mirrored on the palate, then this wine pops with dry apricot, ginger and hops. The tannins soften into a dry and long lasting finish accented with lime rind essence and orange Curaçao peel. This batch is named for our two favorite Brooklynites, Carly and Kenny, who contribute daily to The Vice’s success. In spite of its name, this unfiltered, unfined orange wine is a pure expression of Napa Valley’s unique terroir.
