Very good (significantly better on day 2 than on the evening of opening), complex, great acidity, flavors of bergamot, apricot, caramel and sea salt, with just a hint of a hint of orange rind/zest. Softly tannic finish. In terms of a white wine made in the "Oxidative" or "Orange" style, this is on the lighter, fresher side, not too heavy on the skin contact...which is what I like, still some white wine character and not so much maceration flavors...Solid and notably "enjoyable" (drinkable), which is rare for even some of the greater wines of this style.

Salty aromas with exotic fruit. Palate is weighty, balanced, ripe orange apricots, peaches, good long apricoty-minerally finish. Light-light wood. Tasted at Mare & Vitovska event.

Didn't realize this was an orange wine. It is but just an okay one. Buy Skerk's Ograde. That rocks.

not a crowd pleaser, slightly cloudy, with muted fruit, nutty notes, grip.
