Orange wine, nicely textured. Honey and apricot on the nose (muscat?), but very dry on the palate. Very nice length, complexity. Well balanced with medium + acidity

A challenging wine. It has put on a lot of weight in the last year and its now a Sauternes colour and texture. Lots of tangerine flavour and plenty of yeatsy tones in the nose. Decant now as it changed over a weekend and after 4 days - it turned into a refined white wine and lost its Orange tones. Great stuff, but not for everyone.

Date night @ Cloudstreet: Orange peels, marmalade, citrus notes. Saline and vibrant. Refreshing on the palate. Still getting used to orange wines but this was enjoyable tonight.

A blend of Semillon, Muscat and Riesling and spends a few days on skins. On lees for a year and then just juice for a year. Marmalade, ginger, preserved lemon and almond. A saline, dry white sherry like quality. A bit chalky in texture. Great intensity and length. Cracking wine.

Screwcap, 13.2% alc. Semillon, Riesling, Muscat blend. Golden with a reddish hue.
Lots happening on the nose. Marmalade, sea spray, Asturian Sidra, apricot. Could pass for a Spätlese on the nose, except for the quinine aroma.
Dry and medium full on the palate. Cleans with that tonic/cider flavour. Excellent length. Acid and tannin combine to give this tremendous structure and interest for this white grape combination.
Opinion: Very moreish. Builds significant richness with another day open. Excellent VFM wine. Buy again.

Lees, orange peel, ginger nose. Slightly saline, lovely citrus core that flows through the wine keeping it fresh, the rancio note is only a hint and doesn’t overpower as it can in some orange wines. A little stone fruit with some apricot and gently textured tannins. Very nice.

Yellow apple, ginger marmalade and honey. Really spicy and layered. Power, structure and finesse. Lovely.

One of the best wines I've tried recently (and the best orange wines by a mile). Complexity, length and moorish.
