Description
Libera Estate produce this stunning orange wine using 100% Keratsuda, an indigenous white variety native to the Struma Valley of Bulgaria. Vines benefit from the warm Mediterranean climate, and fermentation takes place with grape skins for 50 days, with no oak ageing and no filtration prior to bottling.
The result is a dark golden wine, with typical Keratsuda aromas of pear, apricot and white flowers. The palate is surprisingly fresh with pronounced tannins from skin contact being balanced by refreshing acidity. Medium bodied, intense and more-ish with long length on the finish.
