An orange wine from Vinos Malaparte, the natural-wine project of Elisa de Frutos and Rubén Salamanca near Cuéllar (Segovia).

Amber in colour, with dried apricot, orange peel, fennel and herbal notes, a gentle grip of skin tannin and a saline, bitter-almond finish. Production is small, about 1,000 bottles a year.
