Tasting Note
An orange wine that doesn’t challenge the palate but rather lifts it to a joyful place. Sunlight on a warm café sidewalk across the way sits a calm salty sea, you get up from your seat after drinking a Aperol Spritz and walk to the beach, then realizing the sand is actually Herbes de Provence mixed with tiny white seashells. That is the vision of this wine. The fruit is various citrus zests, apricot skin and an intoxicating fragrance drifting through that salty air. There is an electricity to this wine that takes you to the edge but gently sets you down. It is joyous and alive and a quiet reminder that the best wines don’t always have to be the most complex nor reflective.
