A remarkable, completely natural phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBone dry, the wine is a heady mix of all the complex flavours and textures that oxidation and flor-contact can bring. Fruits give way to woody hazelnut, toasted almond, turmeric and garam masala spice with crystals of salt, plus a little sweet vanilla from the barrel. Remarkably, all these heavy flavours are balanced by a beautifully fresh acidity, that makes the whole thing feel wonderfully alive.
