About the Winery

Somos is a modern Australian winery founded in McLaren Vale by an Australian–Mexican winemaking duo. Committed to biodynamic farming and minimal-intervention winemaking, they focus on Mediterranean varieties such as Verdelho and Aglianico, crafting vibrant, pure, and boundary-pushing natural wines that challenge convention while expressing the unique character of the region.

Winemaking

Somos Naranjito 2024 is crafted from Verdelho harvested later than usual to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness. After fermentation with indigenous yeasts, half of the wine is aged on its lees in seasoned French oak barrels, while the other half undergoes an extended 180-day skin maceration. The wine is then bottled unfined and unfiltered, beautifully combining a creamy, pastry-like texture with a deep citrus-driven tannic structure.
