June 19, 2021 - At first I probably drank this too early but I have very little experience with non sulfur wines and therefore careful with long term storage.
I liked the label and curious to try some orange wine ...
At first very subtle bouquet, some earthy notes, a bit petrol and rubber...
Some slight alcoholic burn and a very dry "dusty" aftertaste...
With time it develops nicely... maybe cantaloupe melon, medium body but a very nice grippy juiciness.
With a bit more time and aeration it didnt progress or develop any further.
It was an interesting flavour profile to try but especially at this price I wouldnt cellar more of them.
