Rating this on an “orange wine” scale - much more closed and mineral than the generous style of other orange wines. Fun change up.

Baby Orange wine with an intriguing story! Apricots, white flowers, chamomile & appropriately a bit of orange rind! went perfectly with local grouper, faro, and roasted cauliflower!

Opens with orange peel and white pepper, cider, tea, all sorts of florals. Oxidative, tart and perfumed. Perfect trifecta in this beautiful amber wine.

Day two it is more prominently mineral, more lemon-focused citrus, and showing an aroma of brown bread. Really quite wonderful.

Trebbiano, Malvasia, Verdicchio, Grechetto. On lees for more than two weeks. Amber color, pronounced minerality, brine, dried apricot, honey, candied lime, bright tropical fruits, white pepper, earl grey tea, and acacia. Bone dry, med+ acid to balance the phenolic bitterness.

Tastes like a used earl grey tea bag, in a good way. Brown is the new orange? Decant

The table said 2-day old Tesco tea. Which I’m deciding is not a detractor.

The nuns strike again. Amber-colored with a wide array of fruits from apple cider and orange to lychee, plus floral and herbal complexity. Only 11% abv but the phenolics, tannin and lees contact give plenty of weight without sacrificing the fresh acidity. Magnified the flavors of an orange and fennel salad, and absorbed the richness of tuna belly crostini.
