  August 30, 2016 - As mentioned by a previous reviewer, the term "orange" is a bit of a misnomer, closer to straw in colour and not resembling the flavour profile of most skin-contact wines. I don't say this often but the description on the back of the bottle pretty much nails it, plenty of wet hay and citrus fruits.
  
  Time in the glass does however pay off and it gets increasingly tertiary, there's some dried green pepper and the time spent in oak becomes more apparent. Zesty and refreshing (not often used to describe skin contact wines), it undoubtedly has bags more personality than most English whites I've tried. ****

  January 7, 2016 - Not actually orange but made with skin contact and then oak-aged hence the moniker. More a light gold
  Lots of grapefruit on the nose, smokey too with something floral
  More grapefruit and some pith, seems very conventional at first but then there's a smokey slightly bitter but not unpleasant quality which becomes more pronounced with each sip.
  THere's some elderflower here too
  Quite nice. Wish they'd turned up the orange a bit more. I'd have liked this to be more strikingly unusual
  Pricey at £20.
