Fermented with the skins for 20 days the wine is strongly aromatic and bright orange in color, but because the skin of the grapes are so thin, it is not tannic. Instead it feels gently pulpy, the flavors are pure citrus and flowers, light and dry it is salty on the finish. From David, “If you taste it, your happiness hormones will be the highest on the happiness scale for at least 1 year.” Bottled with a crown cap it is a still wine that sometimes picks up just a prickle of fizz.
