If you are looking to get into Orange wines (AKA skin contact) and would like to start with a great value, approachable and just downright delicious wine; look no further. A fairly rare example of the Alvarinho grape vinified with an extended maceration of 14 days. Pale yellow lemon colour. Aromas of apple, citrus peel and mineral notes. On the palate complex citrus fruits and tropical hints of lychee. Has a good texture and a tiny hint of sweet sensation on the finish.
