Amber colored. Smells like mead and tastes like black tea and honeysuckle. So enjoyable to drink.

So, it’s definitely better as it warms up a little. Not a super ‘funky’ natural wine. It’s oddly tannic, but also fairly acidic, being an ‘orange’ Wine. Blindfolded it *almost* tastes like a light chilled red, like Lambrusco maybe? Or Sangiovese? A bit of a conundrum....worked pretty well with the home made Alfredo sauce, not so much with the arugula salad.

Like most orange wines I could see this being polarizing. Blindfolded you might have a hard time deciding whether this was red or white wine. It actually kinda smells like a vineyard. Wet soil and ripe grapes. It’s both acidic and tannic which is why I’d say you might peg it for a Piedmontese red. Definitely a wine to swirl and ponder.
