An exotic foray into orange wine, this refreshingly clean wine has a mouthfeel that lends itself to Chardonnay drinkers looking for something different. Apricot and red pear on the nose, bruised apple and rose hip on the nose make way for stunning depth from sur lie aging. A silky finish is accentuated by a light tannin element with touches of fennel and spearmint.
