Labelled as a ‘bianco’, we can think of this more like an orange wine – with notes of apricot, citrus, touches of dried mango and hints of nutmeg and white tea. Marvellously complex, yet soft and mellow. Proximity to the sea gives this a saline edge that brings it all together perfectly.
Truly a joy to drink, and a versatile food paring wine. Try it something trad like roast chicken for Sunday lunch – or just as at home with something more spicy like a fragrant Thai curry.
