Winemaker's Notes:

THIS ORANGE WINE IS MADE FROM THE ALBARINO GRAPE, A VARIETY KNOWN FOR ITS BRIGHT ACIDITY AND FLORAL AROMATICS. THE WINE IS FERMENTED ON ITS SKIN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, GIVING IT A DEEP ORANGE COLOR AND A COMPLEX, RUSTIC CHARACTER. ON THE NOSE, IT HAS BOLD AROMAS OF RIPE APRICOT AND TANGERINE, WITH HINTS OF WHITE FLOWERS AND WET STONE. ON THE PALATE, IT HAS A RICH, FULL-BODIED TEXTURE WITH A BRIGHT ACIDITY THAT PROVIDES A REFRESHING BALANCE TO THE WINE'S NATURAL SWEETNESS.

IT HAS FLAVORS OF RIPE CITRUS AND TROPICAL FRUITS, WITH A SUBTLE NUTTINESS AND A LONG, LINGERING FINISH. WITH A LOW TANNIN AND ALCOHOL CONTENT, THIS WINE PAIRS WELL WITH SEAFOOD, SPICY DISHES AND CHEESE. THIS WINE IS A PERFECT CHOICE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE AND OFFBEAT WINE EXPERIENCE.
