A sweet and tart wine, the nose carries notes of citrus and fresh raspberries. This wine has a little zing but is well balanced by sweetness and a bit of a spritz. There are soft tannins on the palate and some cheek-puckering results from a mix of the tannins and the grape acidity. Honey is present throughout and provides a counter-melody to the strong flavors on the grapes used in production.

Notes

The grapes were crushed and fermented on the skins for two weeks before being pressed and mixed with local honey. After fermentation, the wine was aged in glass demijohns for nine months before it was bottled. Because there are no sulfites added and the wine is not filtered, it has developed a very enjoyable spritz.
