This is the wine that got me into natural wines and experimental winemakers who aren't afraid to add some funk! Needless to say, I love this. This is perhaps one of my favorite wines. Its also not too expensive to be a regular staple. My favorite part is showing it to friends, and having them fall for this orange wine! If you're looking for a funky, fun, wine with flavor to have on its own, this is a great one!

Color: sunset orange wine. Well not orange like Fanta but imagine a hay white Chardonnay with orange hues, like a sunset. It's a beautiful color!

Aroma: It looks orange, and it has this orange and mandarin scent. Not like orange blossom, but like you're smelling the sweet bitter rind. Its intoxicating and so refreshing! It had that beautiful natural wine funk.

Taste: So good. It smells amazing and tastes like a slightly subdued version of how it smells. It's like tasting the fruity, bitter rind of a mandarin or orange. It's light to medium body with a flavor punch! It's not light in flavor at all, but it's not heavy, nor sweet. It's great for sipping throughout the day or night. There's some minerality that helps cut through the bitterness. It also has this light genetic sweetness that helps carry this wine to a delightful finish that feels like a hidden popsicle or candy. Not get me wrong, this isn't a sweet wine but it certainly full of surprises and flavors!

So juicy and refreshing, pineapple and passion fruit, maybe even guava, with a little citrusy bite, grapefruity. delicious
