A blend of equal parts Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc—a common combination for the white wines of the region—here made into an orange wine via a week of maceration on the skins. Aromatics of orange blossom and tropical jackfruit, with moderately tannic dried citrus peels, tea, and preserved apricots on the yeasty and textured palate. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
