a special wine that challenges the traditional idea of white wine by being made as an 'orange' wine. Made from the Weissburgunder grape, also known as Pinot Blanc, this wine is vinified with extended skin contact, resulting in a deeper amber character and a wide range of complex aromas and flavours. In the glass the wine shows a fascinating amber colour, with a bouquet that opens with scents of dried apricots, orange peel and notes of white flowers, mingled with a touch of spices such as saffron and ginger. On the palate the wine is dry and well structured, supported by the fine tannins that are typical of orange wines. The lively acidity provides a pleasant freshness that keeps the rich and complex layers of flavour in balance.
Ideal with grilled fish, savoury cheeses and spicy dishes.
