Orange dry
Orange. A new expression of the Muscat à Petits Grains grape: subtlety, elegance, lightness on the palate. The juice is pressed together with the stems, followed by a long maceration. Aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks, enhancing fruitiness and freshness. A blend of sweet fruit, tropical fruit aromas — lemon, ginger, tangerine — intertwined with floral notes. Spicy, fragrant, peppery. Flavors of dried fruit and pineapple, with restrained tannins reminiscent of green tea, and medium acidity. The finish reveals rosemary and thyme with a piquant, slightly bitter touch.
Serve at 10–12 °C with Asian cuisine, chicken with herbs and sauce, or more aromatic cheeses.
