On the nose, it opens with a burst of bitter orange peel, mandarin zest, and crystallised ginger, softened by hints of peach and wild herbs. The palate is dry and silky, with just enough tannic grip to frame its citrusy brightness. Quince and tangerine notes glide across the tongue, balanced by a subtle quinine bitterness that adds edge and intrigue. It’s medium-bodied and refreshingly food-friendly—think grilled halloumi, spiced chickpeas, or roast chicken with preserved lemon. For those new to orange wine, this is a gateway bottle: vibrant, versatile, and utterly crushable
