Not Sauvignon at all, but Sauvignonasse, aka Friulano, aka Zeleni Sauvignon. Very nice and fun wine, smells a bit of honey, but is very dry to taste and the skin contact gives it a bit more body than expected, in a nice way. Definitely worth a try, and a second try.

The Only Orange Wine Primer You'll Ever Need - a 2018 Izola Orange Wine Festival Report (Izola, Slovenia): 100% Sauvignonasse (Friulano, former Tokaj). Macerated for one week, aged two years in French oak. Lush golden yellow in color, with honeyed, dried apricot aromas. Crisp and bouncy on the palate, medium bodied with a playful and long finish. Looking forward to see what this develops into over the next four or five years.
