Our take on this vintage

From the very first whiff, this wine transports you to a delicate world where scents of citrus peel, mandarin, and bitter orange dominate, complemented by notes of sweet spices and faded flowers such as orange blossom and rose. On the palate, a silky texture envelops the mouth, offering roundness and freshness with citrus aromas such as bitter orange and pomelo. The finish is characterized by a distinct bitterness and typical astringency, leaving a pleasant lingering aftertaste of bitter orange and a subtle note of cinchona. This orange wine promises a striking and memorable tasting experience.
