Alex Hunt: Startlingly orange and also cloudy, this wine has its colors firmly pinned to the skin-contact mast. While there is a bit of a vinegary tang on first sniff, the style is actually more fruity than Sherry-toned. Sadly, though, the palate is dominated by that vinegar tone, and the otherwise admirably slender, graceful structure doesn’t have the presence to overcome it. 78

Andrew Jefford: Cloudy pale orange in color. Engaging and enjoyably affronting aromas, though it smells more of the skin-contact techniques and time on yeast than the actual variety to me. A little bite of VA , but otherwise cleanly done and qvevri-like. Tannic, acidic, chewy, and full on the palate, with apple and whitecurrant fruits. The acidity is a little high and wild and biting for my taste, but otherwise this is an appealing orange wine for fans of the style. 85

Peter Liem: This is certainly in the “natural” camp, with a cloudy appearance and a relatively deep, coppery color. It doesn’t feel oxidative, though, and its citrusy flavors feel lively and fresh on the palate, persisting with fragrant aroma and taut, energetic length. As with many wines like this, it tastes more of its naturalness than anything else, but if you’re tolerant of that, it’s quite delicious to drink. 88
