This is a fresh, vibrant orange wine, which is at the fun rather than academic end of the orange wine spectrum. The nose is aromatic and bursting with tropical fruit and blossom notes, along with a nice twist of orange peel. The palate has grip but plenty of freshness. The tropical and orange notes continue and are joined with a hint of honey (although remaining dry) on the finish. Tasty!
Grapes are hand harvested and see 8-14 days maceration. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeast before the wine is transferred 80% to old oak and 20% to amphora to mature. No added enzymes, no added SO2.
