My second post here, so lets keep the quality going!
An amazing magnum this time; 50% blend of grenache blanc & roussane orange wine blended with 50% clairrette. Due to clairatte’s tendency to become oxidized real quick, I decided the magnum was the way to go to have a well rested yet not oxidized wine and it seems to have been a great decision. This was pure juice. I’m just getting into orange wine, so demi-orange is always a go to for me, but the smoothness of the tannins really won me over here. This is a wine you could sip ‘n savor or just drink the thirst away with! A sad thing since my wine shop doesn’t have the 2019 vintage and the 2020 vintage has mousyness to the next level. For tasting notes; camomille, toast, honeysuckle & underripe pear. The awesome balance between fruity flavors & herbal aromas is downright dangerous, making this an awesome deal at just €40 ($48) a magnum! Cheers!
