Natural wine from Chile?! Reminds me of Occhipinti's SP68 white which makes sense because it's the same grape. Amazing bitter quality that both adds texture and balances the aggressive perfume and orange peel aroma. Not really a full on orange wine but enough skin contact to put it into it's on category of weird and delicious.

I am trying to be open-minded and we’ll see if I can develop the taste for this, but far from love-at-first-sip. Tastes something like a sour beer. Bitter and acidic. Would gladly give the bottle away if I knew someone who would like it.

Smoky, floral... fuzzy? Not my favorite, but nice.

You can taste the cask it was aged in. The nose is not what it seems.

Lots of barnyard funk! Not too heavy on the juicy 'natural' quality either. Really nice.

Smoky *and* light and easy to drink while being arresting on each gulp.

Notes of tropical fruit and honeysuckle. Slightly grassy with petroleum.
