A distinctive nose of orange zest and talc kicks things off here, and it translates to a bright berry and cola driven flavor profile with some tobacco hints supporting the fruit. It won’t hurt to chill this a little bit to accentuate its freshness. As I often like to remind myself, don’t be put off by a wine just because the name is difficult to pronounce or the place it comes from seems odd – just dive in and see what’s there for you.
