With it’s beautiful burnished orange colour you’d expect high intensity but the aromas are subtle - Seville oranges, blossom and tea leaves. Savoury and herbal in the mouth, this is an accessible skin contact wine. It’s pleasantly grippy with a spicy, peppery finish. Try this with cumin-spiced carrots or butternut squash!
