Tasting note
Silky matte yellow hue with orange reflections. The refined bouquet exudes scents of ginger ale, orange zest, propolis and pear mustard. Sophistication marks the palate with powerful and complex fruit together with notes of bergamot, black tea & lemon, candied ginger, lemon sorbet, dill, hops, herbal lemonade and peach whey. Very dense, reflecting a superb structure, gripping texture and piquant acidity coddled by a fine touch of salinity. Complex, delicate and bone dry. The ginger ale note returns to underscore the lengthy finish. A wonderful orange wine with fabulous varietal typicity.
