Clean, focused and altogether delicious, this is an approachable, well-crafted orange wine that might just convert some sceptics of the style. Candied orange zest, clementine, pink grapefruit and cantaloupe melon mingle on the palate, topped with a touch of basil and crushed mint. The subtle tannic grip has a waxy character that makes the fruit linger with a bitter, Campari-like edge. A great off-beat alternative pairing to festive cheese platters. Yum.
What We Thought: Clocking in at only 12% alcohol this with is bright and crisp with a light viscosity and displays aromas and flavors of white peach, orange peel, melon and hints of citrus finishing with more tannin than you will expect.
