In the glass
Aroma: dried white fruit, apricot, spice, chamomile, basil, spruce resin
Palate: quince, dried herbs, orange peel
Deep gold on the edge of orange, the estate's uncompromising natural bottling. A full year on the skins in cask gives dried fruit, spice and a firm textural grip.
What it pairs with
-
Pork and veal
Ferdinand names both; skin contact tannin does the work a red would. -
Aged cheese
The producer names mature cheese; salt meets the wine's tannin and dried fruit. -
Nothing at all
Ferdinand suggests drinking it alone for contemplation, and its texture supports that.
