Details
Made from the rare Xarel-lo Vermell grape variety, this orange wine is approachable and just plain fun! Fermented on the skins in an amphora, we love the pretty, floral notes on the nose, with hints of confected orange fruit and Gummy Bears. The tannins are elegant and soft, and watch out for a lovely white pepper accent on the finish.

Pairing guide
Ah, this bottle of orange wine really made a big impact here at Good Pair Days HQ, and we just know you’re going to adore it every bit as much! To truly ramp up that taste sensation, we’d recommend matching it with classic Italian pasta creations like cacio e pepe or any other pasta dish featuring a simple sauce with plenty of pecorino. Sea bass dishes, tahini noodles, lightly smoked ham and pork products like gammon are also recommended, as are curried chicken or peri-peri creations. Seafood salads and lemon risottos would work a treat, and it’s also excellent with chicken breast served with a pesto sauce. Divine!
