Appearance: A striking bright orange hue with golden amber reflections, hinting at extended skin contact and textural depth.
Nose: Aromatic and expressive, with dried apricot, tangerine zest, and chamomile, layered with hints of almond, tea leaves, and warm spice.
Palate: Vibrant and structured, offering mandarin peel, ripe peach, and quince, balanced by a savory backbone of toasted nuts and saline minerality. Gentle tannins add texture, while bright acidity keeps it fresh, leading to a long, citrus-tinged finish.
Vineyard & Craftsmanship: Made from select vineyard lots, this multi-vintage blend undergoes extended skin fermentation, enhancing complexity and texture. Neutral vessel aging preserves its freshness while allowing depth to develop.
Pairing Suggestions: Perfect with spiced Middle Eastern dishes, aged cheeses, roasted vegetables, grilled seafood, and fermented foods. Its tannic grip pairs well with duck, pork belly, or saffron-infused risottos.
Aging Potential: Enjoy now or age for 5-7 years, as it continues to evolve and gain complexity.
