Alice L'Estrange Pipeno Pastiche MAGNUM 2021
Regular price $85.00
From Chile and an Australian winemaker who has found herself deep in old school wine country in Itata, working with the avant garde sect over there and producing traditionally and naturally, per se. This is a blend of muscat and chasselas, fermented on skins and a portion is matured under a yeast veil. Farmed organically.
It’s an intense and chewy orange wine but really light on its feet, floral in scent and mouth-perfume, vivacious and easy to drink. Scents and flavours of peach, apricot, jasmine tea, bergamot and ginger. Lively, lovely, a softness despite that chalky pucker going on. It’s a very well put together orange wine, zesty and vibrant and yet has the attractive inputs of the more flowery elements too. Nice one. - The Wine Front
