Alter Cuvée is a fresh orange wine that finds a wonderful balance of power, elegance and freshness.
In the nose wonderfully spicy, ethereal notes of citrus zest. On the palate Green Tee with apricot, full-bodied with accentuated tannin. The finish light, warm and cuddly -quickly invites you for more!
