Nose
Exotic aromas of creamsicle, mango, gooseberry, jasmine
and ceylon.
Palate

The palate follows the aromas, with the addition of marmalade and
white pepper.

Winemaking
The inaugural
vintage contains four varieties, representing an amalgam of our amphorae program,
where white varieties are skin-fermented in terracotta vessels. In order to "top up"
the amphorae after the skins are removed, we carry out side ferments of each lot in macro-bins. Orangotango is a blend of the leftovers of these side ferments.
