Made from the obscure Hungarian grape, Irsai Olivér, this Orange Wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts while spending extended time on grape skins resulting in it's amber color and subtle tannic structure. expect flavors of exotic spices, rose petals, lychee, hibiscus, dried apricot and orange zest. Unforgettable. Pair with a variety of flavorful foods including Moroccan Tagine, curries, cheese or charcuterie. Or chess!"
