  This is a very unique wine; we bought it from the winemaker, or rather, a young lady who worked there at the time; it was her who has conceived of the idea of this wine.
  The wine is made based on the Georgian orange wine procedure, naturally fermented on the skins, and no filtering. It makes for dark orange, cloudy wine. The taste has some biitterness, some fruit, a little bit of nuts/oxydation. It is a strong mix of flavours, and so we drank it with a burmese curry of shrimp cooked in ginger, garlic, chili powder, kurkuma, koriander (fresh and grounded), fennel seeds, onions, tomato, spring onions and potato. It very nicely complemented this dish, bringing out the flavours; the food toned down the bitter traces in the wine and made it shine. We found the wine too dominant to drink on its own after dinner.
