A juicy, spicy Alsace orange wine with plenty of personality. Zénith combines the exotic, floral power of Gewürztraminer with the electric freshness of Riesling. Think mandarin, grapefruit, dried apricot and warm spices, wrapped in a dry, slightly tannic and beautifully textured palate. Natural, energetic and surprisingly refreshing for such a generous wine.
 
Finish is long, dry and slightly bitter, with grapefruit peel, spice and a refreshing saline quality.
