Made by Trapist Nuns. This wine sees extended skin contact and thus is something completely different than most people are used to; it's an "orange" wine. This one has some nice creamyness as well as some yeasty spice notes. Very subtle, unripe tropical fruits.

Nov 26th, 2014White flower, pear, and ginger powder. Refined vs prior years. Phenolics and oxidation are minimal this year and the wine is all the better for it.
